Overview

A moderate to brisk circular walk led by Melanie R (Mobile No: 07939 608946) of approx. 5 hours walking, much of which is on the wooded Greensand Ridge running parallel to and just south of the North Downs and through Limpsfield Common. Lunch stop at Westerham where there is a choice of pubs and cafés. It is recommended to bring a picnic as the pubs/cafés may be busy and the lunch stop will be 45 minutes. The afternoon section will be up the open Darent valley and onto the wooded Crockhamhill Common, returning via the village of Limpsfield. Map: E147/146, L187.
