A lovely circular walk that goes north of Sevenoaks. We start by following the Darent Valley path, passing ponds and lakes and head for Otford. We then turn west and climb a steep hill at Polhill Bank where there are beautiful views. We continue over the M25 and head to Knockholt Pound, where we stop for lunch. There are two pubs, but please bring a packed lunch.
After lunch we head south through some woods and pleasant open countryside. We pass the hamlet of Chevening with its lovely church. We continue south and pass the pretty lake at Chipstead. Finally, we head back to Sevenoaks via Dry Hill.
Reminder that clocks go forward 1 hour overnight.
