📍 The Lullingstone Castle Circular 🥾 This is the perfect more beginner friendly hike near London with plenty of spring blooms, gorgeous views, rolling hills and of course an epic castle you can explore 👌🏼 Here’s the details: 🥾 Distance: 7km ⛰️ Elevation: 200m 🕰️ Duration: 2-3hrs (longer with a castle visit!) 🚗 Parking: There’s plenty of parking by the Lullingstone country park visitors centre. 🚂 Public transport: You can grab a train from London to Enysford and then walk a short distance to join the trail. (This would make the hike around 8km). 🔥 Extensions: If you want a longer walk, catch the train to Shoreham and hike up from there (this adds around 5km of fairly flat hiking). 🍽️ Food: The tearoom beside the castle, or The Plough Inn in Enysford - they do a great roast. 🗺️ Map: I’ll link it on my Instagram stories & it will be saved in a highlight! ♥️ #londonhikes #hikelondon #londondaytrips #londonblogger #kenthikes #hikesnearlondon
