swcwalks, swcwalk290, Otford Circular via Shoreham. 21/3/18.amib, Apr-18
A short walk of around 8.5 miles in the Darent Valley, Kent. There's a nice mix of woodland, river and fine views, despite the short distance.
There's a nice hill climb to get the heart going early on; a pleasant woodland section into Magpie Bottom nature reserve and then the descent into Shoreham village.
Then, it's up the other side of the valley, with fine views, for a further section of woodland walking. This brushes up against the M25, down below, but this doesn't seem to hinder the presence of another nature reserve at Polhill Bank, which, again, offers fine views.
Thereafter, it's downhill and along the Darent Valley Path into Otford.
A fine walk that packs much into its shorter distance, spoilt only briefly by the horror that is the M25.
