Boots On Adventures: North Downs Way Part 5: Oxted to Otford

The 5th leg of our journey commences in the town of Oxted. Starting from the station, we ascend to the North Downs ridge, where we leisurely stroll along its expanse. Once atop the North Downs, the terrain levels out, offering splendid panoramic views across the valley. Our path follows the Vanguard valley, passing by a golf course and captivating landscapes. Abundant in flora, the route is adorned with natural beauty. The conclusion of our route awaits at Otford station.
