The Romans also inhabited the places, and ruins of a villa and a bathhouse have been excavated near the train station and Fordcroft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Contenu connexe : <a href=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/fr\/cudham-circular-walk\/\">Marche circulaire de Cudham<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Now a commuter town, part of the Bromley borough, Orpington has a vibrant high street, a shopping mall and plenty of pubs and restaurants. Located in Greater London, Orpington is on the edge of the Kent Downs, AONB, offering a wide range of walks right at its doorsteps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coming-out-of-orpington\">Coming Out of Orpington<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Orpington is one of these towns where the train station is not in the town centre, so it will require a bit of a walk before setting foot on the countryside fields. When you come out of the train station, walk down Station Road. At the roundabout, continue straight on Spur Road until you reach the end. At the crossing with the A224, cross over to the opposite side and take the right. It is only a short walk until you find a footpath on your left, leading straight to Goddington Park. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Lilys-Wood.jpg?resize=500%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Lily's Wood path with trees, grass and bluebells on both sides\" class=\"wp-image-4276\" style=\"width:250px;height:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Lilys-Wood.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Lilys-Wood.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This local park is filled with football practice groups on the weekend. It is, therefore, safer to stick to the footpath rather than crossing the playfield. When you arrive at the edge of the park where the playground is located, exit the park. Take left on the street in front of the exit gate and at the end turn right onto Avalon Road. Continue straight into the residential area and turn right onto Craven Road. Please don&#8217;t make the same mistake as us to end up on a dead-end street but continue on Craven Road. At the crossing, take right onto Chelsfield Lane and the footpath is a little bit further down on your left after Allandale Place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">And there you are, you have reached Lily&#8217;s Wood!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lily-s-wood\">Lily&#8217;s Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Lily&#8217;s Wood is a 16-acre forested area, which turns all purple when Spring comes. A very small hidden gem at the doorsteps of Orpington if you want to see bluebells. Take a walk around the woods following the footpath and you won&#8217;t even know where to look anymore as they are everywhere. I leave it to the pictures to describe the place, as they speak louder than words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Contenu connexe<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/fr\/bluebell-railway-walk\/\">Bluebell Railway Day Out<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-columns wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter has-rounded-corners-13\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:75.06874%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-close-up-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-close-up-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-close-up-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Bluebell in Lily's Wood from close\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"4287\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4287\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-close-up-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-close-up-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-the-wood-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-the-wood-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-the-wood-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Bluebell in Lily's wood with the sun ray right in the middle of the flower patch\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"4286\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4286\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-the-wood-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-the-wood-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:24.93126%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Bluebells in Lily's Wood with one taller bluebell in front and the rest of the bluebells a bit out of focus\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4278\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4278\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Bluebells in Lily's Wood taken at ground level\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4277\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4277\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebells-in-Lilys-Wood-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kent-downs-aonb\">Kent Downs AONB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kentdowns.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Kent Downs<\/a>, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, covers a surface of 878 square kilometres, stretching from Surrey to the white chalk cliffs of Dover on the south coast.

During the medieval time, it was used as deer hunting grounds by the Hart Dyke family who also owned the Lullingstone Castle. In 1933, they sold the 460 acres which is now the Lullingstone Country Park to cover some debts and kept the Castle and 200 acres of land.  During WWII, the grounds were used as an airfield and the estate suffered numerous bombings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Nowadays, the park has an 18-hole and 9-hole golf course, which we are passing through during our walk. As the estate counts numerous benches, it makes it the perfect place for a lunch break. After lunch, deviate from the golf course and take the footpath leading through a forested area to the exit gate on Redmans Lane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Contenu connexe : <a href=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/fr\/otford-to-eynsford-walk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Otford to Eynsford via Lullingstone Castle<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shoreham\">Shoreham<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Shoreham is a village in Kent, not far from Eynsford, located at the bottom of a hill with a cross cut into the chalk ground. This is a memorial for those who lost their lives during the First World War. It was also the most bombed village in Britain during World War II, mostly because the military used the nearby manors as bases for their operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rounded wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Shoreham.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Shoreham at the bottom of the hill\" class=\"wp-image-4292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Shoreham.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Shoreham.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Shoreham.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Shoreham.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The walk does not go through Shoreham, however, after walking across the Kent Downs fields, you arrive at the top of the hill overlooking the village. As the road divides, you have two choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Walk alongside the hilltop with Shoreham at the bottom and pass by the Chalk Cross<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Walk further uphill into the forested area and enjoy even more bluebells<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">For this bluebell walk in Kent, we chose the path through the forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>Fun fact: Hollywood actress Naomie Watts was born in Shoreham. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-andrew-s-wood\">Andrew&#8217;s Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is quite a steep slope to get to the heart of the forest but it is worth the effort. As you walk on the main path, the ground is carpeted in purple on both sides. A little bit further down, on your right-hand side, you&#8217;ll find a cabin made of wooden sticks put against the tronc of a tree. With a purple flowerbed at your feet, this is the perfect spot for pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rounded wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-Andrews-Wood.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Bluebell in Andrew's Wood view from the top and going far that you can't see the end\" class=\"wp-image-4280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-Andrews-Wood.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-Andrews-Wood.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-Andrews-Wood.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Bluebell-in-Andrews-Wood.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Don&#8217;t exit the forest yet, even though you might be tempted, as we were, by the sight of the green meadows with cows grazing.

As you start going down, there are spots where the bluebells go so far into the wood that you cannot even see the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-well-hill-amp-chelsfield\">Well Hill &amp; Chelsfield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Don&#8217;t be spooked by the name, the highest point of this hike is behind you. Even though the name of this hamlet can lead to confusion, you are walking down to Well Hill, and not up. Follow Well Hill lane as you come out of the woods, and at the crossing with Rock Hill, turn left. Continue straight onto Jubilee Road and when you arrive at Maypole Road, you find a footpath on your left. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Black-horse.jpg?resize=500%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Black Horse in Cheslfied\" class=\"wp-image-4282\" style=\"width:250px;height:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Black-horse.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Black-horse.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Walk alongside the golden fields until you reach Chelsfield. The area is divided into two: the historical centre and the newly developed residential part. This is due to the opening of the train station in 1868 a mile away from the historical village. Seeing the opportunity, the lands near the station were bought for housing development in 1925. It has since expanded and Chelsfield is now a commuter town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-back-to-orpington\">Back to Orpington<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This is now nearly the end of our walk. Leave Chelsfield and take the footpath on your left on Chelsfield Lane. You are walking through a crop field and you can see (on a clear day of course) Canary Wharf business centre skyscrapers and the Shard in the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rounded wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Crop.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Crop between Cheslfield and Orpington\" class=\"wp-image-4295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Crop.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Crop.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Crop.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Crop.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In the end,  you are back in Goddington Park where the football games are still on. Find your way to the nearest footpath and walk back to the exit near the playground we took earlier, but this time turn left on Avalon Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">At the fire station, turn right onto Gillman&#8217;s Road and continue straight until you reach the roundabout. Then turn left and cross Court Road. On the opposite side, you find Orpington All Saints Church and the lovely garden of the priory. Walk across the park behind the priory and it is only a short walk to the pub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter has-rounded-corners-13\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:24.74161%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Orpington Priory House\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"4283\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4283\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:75.25839%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory-Garden-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory-Garden-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory-Garden-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Bluebell walk in Kent - Orpington Priory Garden with four flower patches and bush\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"4294\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=4294\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory-Garden-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bluebell-walk-in-Kent-Orpington-Priory-Garden-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Walk up Chislehurst Road and after the bend, you find the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecricketersknoll.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cricketers Knoll<\/a> pub.
