Things to Do  

Walk the path.

Walk the path., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  Eynsford lies about midway on the Darent path which runs from Sevenoaks to Dartford following the ocurse of the Darent river, naturally enough. It is pleasant walking, not strenuous, and is well waymarked. A good afternoon stroll is from Eynsford to Lullingstone Park and... 

Old-fashioned hotel.

Old-fashioned hotel., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  I just loved the look of the outside of this place, as you can see by the picture. I loved the idea of "motor pit, garage and stables", although there was no evidence of any of these that I could see. A reminder of bygone days.Inside, the place has a modern bar with friendly... 

A decent pub.

A decent pub., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  I popped in here for a quick pint in the afternoon (the Five Bells observing afternoon closing in the old country fashion) and found a pleasant "olde worlde" pub with pleasant staff and friendly locals. Although I did not eat here myself, they obviously promote themselves as... 

A fine old church.

A fine old church., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  Standing right in the centre of the village, and dominating the skyline, is the church of St. Martin. On one of the days I visited, I was lucky enough to meet a local lady who showed me round the Church. I also invested £2 a very good little guide produced by the Farningham... 

Visit the Castle.

Visit the Castle., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  The two central historical features of the village, like so many others in England, are the church (see seperate tip) and the castle.The castle was erected by the Normans (as, indeed was the church) not long after William's conquest of England. As was the custom, the place... 

Transportation  

Easy from London.

Easy from London., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  As I mentioned in the Eynsford homepage, I was suprprised at how rural this place was, given it's proximity to London. I usually travel by train, and you have two options from Central London, both with regular services. There is a direct train from Blackfriars which takes 47... 

Local Customs  

A local Christmas custom.

A local Christmas custom., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  I visited Eynsford just before Christmas 2005, and saw the creation in the photo. I believe it represents a deer and is made out of hazel twigs or similar. I must say I have never seen anything similar anywhere else in England, except in this region of Kent. I saw a number... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Lullingstone Roman Villa.

Lullingstone Roman Villa., Eynsford

 planxty Says:  Although this is the reason I first visited Eynsford, and would be the main reason for many people, I have included it in the "off the beaten path" section, purely because it lies a little way outside the village itself.The second photo shows the rather functional modern...

So rural, yet close to London.

 I first visited Eynsford in Kent last month for the purpose of visiting the Lullingstone Roman Villa. Walking into the village, I was struck at how pleasantly rural it was, considering the short train...
