About this Event
This beautiful hike guides us through the picturesque Kentish countryside, passing through the expansive and wild deer-inhabited Knole Park, maintained by the National Trust.
We then venture through the quintessential rolling landscapes of Kent, through delightful woodlands, before descending to Ightham Mote, a moated manor house owned by the National Trust. Here, we pause for a leisurely lunch at the cafe.
Post-lunch, we follow the trail as it merges with the splendid escarpment of the Greensand Way, culminating at One Tree Hill. From this vantage point, we are treated to breathtaking panoramic views over the Weald.
Our walk concludes with a charming path through the grounds of Knole Park along Chestnut Walk. This tree-lined avenue boasts majestic old sweet chestnut trees, As we near the end of the journey, we pass by Knowle House, originally constructed as an archbishop's palace, before returning to Sevenoaks. There, you are invited to join us for a delightful meal and refreshing drinks before we make our way back to London.
