South Bank Ramblers

Thursday, 13 May 2021 - SEVENOAKS CIRCULAR - 9.5 miles - Leader: Linda C

This is a circular walk at a moderate to brisk pace through parkland, woods and farmland to Ightham Mote (NT). We return along the Greensand Way ridge with extensive views south. There’s no avoiding the 1 mile along a main road from and to Sevenoaks Station, but the rest of the walk is traffic free. There are no long climbs, but the route is constantly undulating, involving a considerable amount (1200 feet) of climbing overall.
