Wed 22nd JUL 2026 - EYNSFORD TO SHOREHAM - Martin F

A shaded and sheltering ramble through broad leaved woodland in this part of the Darent Valley.  Following on from February's popular tree walk there will be extra paths and woods to explore before climbing down from Meanfield Wood and passing over chalk land streams to reach Shoreham with its heritage of the visionary artist Samuel Palmer.

Berries and butterflies

Literally ‘great’ chestnut trees

Awash with lavender fields
