Otford circular walk

Name: Otford circular walk
Start: 2026-02-21T10:30:00+00:00
End: 2026-02-21T15:40:00+00:00
Location: Otford Train Station

Come on a chilled, small group walk with like minded queer folks looking to connect with nature. This month, we’re off to Otford to celebrate the coming spring. We’ll be on the lookout for flowers like snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, and hopefully hear the beautiful song thrush and see the first leaves on Elder trees. All that, and a stop at a cute country pub halfway round.

Distance: 10.9 km / 6.7 miles
Difficulty rating: Beginner/Improver*
Walking time: 3.5 hours
Kit needed: Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/muddy, waterproof jacket (if rain is forecast), waterproof trousers (optional), warm clothes including a warm jumper and hat/gloves, packed lunch, snacks and water (at least 1 litre), and personal medication.
Pace: Not too fast. We’ll walk for about 1.5 hours then stop for lunch (probably on a bench or mossy log - bring a packed lunch!) then a little after that, we’ll stop at a pub to warm up, before walking for an 1.5 hours back to the train station.
Elevation: This is an up and down walk - lots of little hills with a bigger, steeper hill at the start and end (Elevation: 80m - 217m. Total ascent: 296 metres).
Accessibility: This walk will be on very muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths, with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There are wheelchair accessible toilets at Otford train station but other toilets en route are not accessible.

Any questions or if you are unwaged/a carer/can't afford a ticket, let me know and I'll ping you a free ticket - outtohike@gmail.com

*Beginner/Improver walks are for people who have been on short walks before (dog walks, walks with friends/family, complete beginner walks in a group etc.) but want to try a half day walk that involves walking a little further with a few more hills. Everyone is welcome but it is important that we all go at the same pace, so be prepared to walk slower than usual, especially if you are used to walking longer distances more frequently. The idea is to connect with nature and enjoy the journey together - not to ‘smash the hike' as fast as possible.
