River Darent, Westminster Fields

👍👍 Great walk, very green. Some of the walk is along the little river, fields, forests and also a little town. Also a great place to take your dog for a walk. Can be very muddy after some rain. Saw some horses and Emu's while walking the trail. People often mention walk,

    Free car park with about 30 spaces. Great walks along the muddy path next to the picturesque and very clear River Darent. Good for dogs, but use a lead if they go for a swim as the river is fast moving. Only a few badly maintained benches seats in the grass area, hence 4 stars. Allow about 1 hour to walk along the river and back to the car park. I visited on Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. Co-op shop around the corner if you want a snack. There is a public toilet next to the car park.

    Beautiful place to visit, especially in the summer when it's warmer so you can have a paddle. There is plenty of space for picnics, overflow parking during busy periods and toilets that are open during peak times. Can get busy by the main part of the stream during holidays and weekends when weather is nice but if you go further down you can still hop in where its less crowded and enjoy a paddle!

    The Darent valley river walk is great with some fantastic views and well worth doing. Great bars and cafes along the way and just on your doorstep. Take in the natural world and give it a go.

    Lovely secluded area for people with children or young children, the water is clean and safe for young children to enjoy and play in or even the adults safely fenced off lovely spot for picnics and big playing fields and walks and woodlands

    Great place for the little ones to play in the river . Water about knee deep or less, as safe as it gets for rivers. Toilet on site and parking. Car park shuts at 7pm.

    The shallow sections are perfect for wading through and dipping for small fish. Lovely walk along the bank too.

👍👍 This is a national trust site so you have to pay to enter if not a national trust member. The deer park is extensive and filled with ancient oak and chestnut trees and hundreds of deer wandering about. The deer are quite tame as long as you stay about 25m away. Lots of walking trails through the par...
