Step into Spring & work up an appetite with a guided walk through the bluebells of Shoreham Woods followed by a pizza & glass of wine at our restaurant.
Join local guide Sarah Moon ~ North Downs Way Ambassador and National Landscape Manager for the Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ~ for a beautiful guided walk through Shoreham Woods: one of Kent’s most stunning spots for bluebells.
Your route begins with us here at The Mount Vineyard at our Ten Acres Shop (where you can purchase a coffee before you head off if desired), crosses the River Darent, and winds through Shoreham Village before entering the woods. You’ll venture deep into the woodland, with plenty of opportunities to capture beautiful photos. On your return, you’ll pass the Shoreham Cross, offering sweeping views across the village and the Darent Valley before returning to us here at the vineyard for a tasty stone baked pizza and glass of wine.
Sarah has lived in the area for over 15 years & is passionate about nature & its positive impact on physical and mental wellbeing. Sarah works for the Kent Downs National Landscape, where she focuses on improving access to the countryside and helping more people discover and enjoy the local landscape.
