Boots On Adventures: North Downs Way Part 6: Otford to Cuxton

The North Downs Way Section 6 commences in the town of Otford, leading us on an ascent of Otford Ridge from the station. Surprisingly, the climb is less steep than anticipated, revealing an ancient Tumulus along the way. Progressing eastward along the North Downs, our path meanders atop the ridge, guiding us past Trosley Country Park, a World War 2 cadet training camp, and sections of Neolithic Medway—marking the early settlement of England by the Neolithic population. The conclusion of our route awaits at Cuxton train station.

During the weekends we are leaving accommodation open for you to choose something that suits your budget or there are trains returning to Oxted from Otford. As you book onto this walk you will be giving the option to join our WhatsApp lift share group to allow us to lift share between stops. We will also be letting you know our choice of accommodation (where applicable) should you wish to book where we are staying and join us.

Please let us know if you are running late or not attending otherwise the walk will leave on time. We will be stopping for a bring your own picnic lunch at around mid-day.
