Join me on a ride to Lullingstone and Eynsford in Kent, UK. It’s one of my favourite local cycling routes that I definitely don’t ride often enough!
After tackling the short but spicy climb up Rock (Well) Hill, I make my way to the beautiful Lullingstone Country Park. Once an ancient deer park, it’s set alongside the River Darent and is a fantastic place to visit for hikers and dog walkers, especially in the summer. It’s also home to the historic Lullingstone Castle, which has stood on this site since 1543.
A little further on, after stopping on my favourite bridge, we take in the impressive Eynsford Viaduct, which still carries trains on the Chatham Main Line.
On the ride home, I couldn’t resist stopping at The Velo Barn for a magnificent tiramisu blondie and an ice-cold can of Coke—very welcome by that point, as it was getting proper hot!
Just shy of 70 km all in, it was a cracking day out on the bike and a route I’d happily recommend to anyone cycling in the area.

Some stunning lanes!
Epic scenes mate…best riding early in the heat.
I love and hate this route 😊. I wouldn’t have been able to resist dipping in that river!
