Eynsford Ford and Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Eynsford Ford reflects the traditional way used to cross a stream or small river, via a shallow point. It was an important crossing back in Roman times.

River Side Tea Room

Highlight • Cafe

Great spot for a coffee before you hit the climb up Bower Lane.

Quiet enough to leave your bike outside if you’re sitting in, or else get a takeaway and park yourself by the stream across the road.

Farningham Brick Bridge and Mill

Highlight • Bridge

The white houses in the background are interesting. I've heard storys linking these to early American houses.
We are about 2 miles from Brands Hatch, on race days you can hear the motors.

Climb from Eynsford up and over the motorway, turn left and follow the gentle descent down to Crockenhill
