Lullingstone Country Park is set in the Darent Valley, between
Eynsford and Shoreham, and has wonderful open grassland that fills
with wildflowers in Spring.
Lullingstone is internationally important for its collection of
ancient trees, with over 300 veteran oak, beech, hornbeam, ash and
sweet chestnut, some of which are thought to be 800 years old. The
park also has many areas of chalk grassland that are filled with
spectacular displays of orchids and other colourful Wild flowers in
summer.
The visitor centre offers excellent facilities including a café,
toilets and shop. It has a comprehensive range of information about
the park's landscape, wildlife and heritage.
In addition to this, a fully equipped education centre enables
groups of all ages, from primary schools to adult art and
conservation groups, to learn about all aspects of the
countryside.
For those wishing to venture into the wider countryside, an
excellent guide is available for a 6.5 mile circular walk from the
visitor centre, passing through the nearby village of Shoreham. The
route is within a few hundred metres of Shoreham railway station,
on the line from London Blackfriars to Sevenoaks; so visitors can
enjoy a traffic free day in the countryside.
The Darent Valley Path runs past the park, offering more
opportunities to explore the local countryside.
You will understand the name once you find the cache.
Happy hunting
