Eleven ramblers set off in the heat to walk the environs of Shoreham.

A welcomed break was taken at Castle Farm where everything lavender was being sold including ice cream! We left the lilac coloured fields walking along the River Darent and pass Lullingstone Country Park, trekking through parched fields getting some relief from the sun with tall hedgerows conveniently being in the right place and shady woodland where we picnicked.

The descent back into Shoreham brought much needed refreshment at the Samuel Palmer albeit a tad expensive.
