Route Notes

This route avoids the monotonous A20 and M25 in favor of the North Downs' best driving roads. The descent down Polhill on the A224 offers spirited curves and elevation changes, while the A225 provides a technical and scenic drive through the Darent Valley, passing through the beautiful villages of Otford and Eynsford. Watch for narrow sections and local traffic in Eynsford village center.
