About Lullingstone Country Park

Lullingstone Country Park, run by Kent County Council, is known for its ancient trees and chalk grassland wildflowers. The Discovery Trail includes a zip wire, and activity trails run in the school holidays. A 6.5 mile circular walk heads out from the visitor centre via Shoreham, and the Darent Valley Path passes the park.

The visitor centre has a cafe, toilets and a shop, and there are picnic and play areas. Parking is charged; the Kent Country Parks season ticket covers it. Closed on Christmas Day.

Accessibility

Explore Kent says the park has at least one accessible route but is otherwise less suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Disabled parking and toilets are listed.
