    Lovely country park with beautiful bluebells during the spring time. The car park is £1.70 all day mon to Friday or £2.70 all day weekends and bank holidays and opens until 8pm at the time of visit April 2022. The car park pay machine accepts card as well as cash but unfortunately was not accepting card payment during our visit today so we paid by cash. Alternatively you can call up and pay over the phone. The country park consists of 3 walks ranging from short medium to a longer 2hour walk. We took the longest route and enjoyed the woodland walk but it only took is 1hour in total. There is also a cafe on site with toilets and a children's play area. A good place to take the family and there is also a lake where the dogs can enjoy a dip during the hot weather. There is also a castle nearby which you can visit with a fee.

    What a great place, pay by phone parking or credit card payments £1.70 all day, gift shop and cafe selling hot and cold food and beverages, toilets in the same building as the cafe, inside seating area with undercover outdoor seating and benches to the front and sides. Small kids fenced play area, strong walking boots highly recommended for walking along the river and wooded areas. Not disabled friendly unless you can fly or hover above ground. Beautiful views and area, dog walkers and ramblers will like this place, long slope to the top wooded area with a path through the golf course to one side, watch for low flying golf balls , Keep dogs on leads in the area. Several trails the longest at 4 miles, well worth a visit.

    It is a lovely place to visit with friends and family. The parking is pay and displayed, best way to pay by cash. There is a cafe and gift shop next to parking, where you will find more than your need. In the gift shop my favourite is the fosil item, kids love them. Anyway, the walking trails starts from parking area. I have been 3/4 times already. I tend to choose different direction each time and never been disappointed. All tge ways will lead to beautiful landscape, field of crop, woods and grass field. Every part of it has its own unique features. Birds singing is another part I have enjoyed. There are places to sit and enjoy picnics. Toilets are next to the cafe. Enjoy 😊

    Had a lovely afternoon here with my boys. They love being outdoors. Plenty of walking, climbing, running, and playing was had. To end our visit, we had a delicious slice of coffee cake and cuppa afterwards. Would recommend and can't wait to visit again.

    Good parks with walking trails, cycling tracks and a small play area for kids . A small restaurant is also nearby where you can for food and drinks. There is a small bridge nearby running over a stream where I have seen kids play in water. Picnic benches are also there for families to have food outside . The park is near the lavender farm .

    Beautiful country park that has woods, fields and pretty views! You can see the neighbouring lavender fields at the top of the park and on the other side of the valley you get views of the golf course. It’s beautifully green and there are small parks scattered around it! The cafe next to the park has amazing indulgent cakes that I recommend! We got the citrus poppy seed cake and the coffee cake which was so rich, moist and delicious! A must try, the staff are very friendly too! Parking is affordable at £2.50 for the whole day. Lovely place to picnic and loads of wildlife around.

    It's definitely one of the best country parks in Kent. It has a massive park with multiple tracks, including a woodland walk. There is a café and shop on the side where you can get lunch, coffee, tea, and cakes. The view from the top of the hill is stunning. We really like the way that they put swings, play parks, zip lines, and wooden toys along the route of the walks. Children love them. There is a golf club within the park, so if you are into golf, you can also play there. Parking is £1.70 on weekdays and £2.70 at weekends for the full day. If you pay by app, it is 20 p. Extra plenty of parking spaces. There are also a lot of picnic tables near the car park, which would be good in the summer.

    Absolutely beautiful. Went to the parkrun here and as one of the marshalls said - "it's breathtaking in every way". Super hilly but totally worth it.

  • 4/5 Beasty B. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely place , parking is £ 3.50 per day for weekends and bank holidays as of May 2023 . I give this place 4 stars , looses points on toilet. Sorry not sure if Sunday was a off day but the toilets were BAD ! The stench was bad and overall state of them . The vistior centre was open still so no excuse for staff to not walk around and inspect . I would recommend this place just not if toilets are in that condition I rather go in the bushes😑. I would suggest you write on sign posts distance and average time to points . ie river side walk to the castle xxx miles and average walk time

  • 4/5 Stretch D. 10 months ago on Google
    Lullinstone Country Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking for a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of the standout features of this park is the section of the Darent River where dogs can have a splash without the worry of returning smelling of stagnant pond scum. The water is clean, clear, and flowing, making it a refreshing spot for both dogs and their owners. The park offers a few walking trails, although it would be great if there was at least one well-marked trail that was wheelchair accessible. Nonetheless, the open space is perfect for a leisurely stroll and taking in the beautiful scenery. The lack of tree cover may be a downside for some, as it can get quite hot in the summer months. However, there is a little children's play area for the little ones to enjoy, and a cafe where visitors can grab a cuppa and a bite to eat. Overall, Lullinstone Country Park is a great destination for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque day out with their furry friend. The clean and flowing river is a real highlight, and the park's facilities make it a great spot for families to spend a few hours.

  • 5/5 Ruxandra V. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning country park. Gorgeous views everywhere, clean, well designed, with lovely trek routes. Couple of visitor centers for each end of the park with car park (that costs £3 for the whole stay, I'd say this is a little ridiculous considering most of these car parks in nature reserves are FREE). But the visitor centers have nice products, souvenirs and stationery items. There is also a golf course for everyone to play. All in all is a lovely park and I would recommend 100%.

    Stunning views, with wide variation in terrain. Walked through fields, woodland and golf course with a nice surprise of a hidden zip line. I would recommend this for a family day out, a good dog walk or just time to connect to nature and slow down.

    Panaramic views! Early Spring development in tree blossom, lots of walks, edged by hedgerow planting, or tiny woods, lovely for family. Very useful for dog walkers. I think we might have been passed by - by the greyhound association members! Not only can you find the local wildlife, you can name plants & name the different breed of dogs! Castle nearby, quoted at £15 per visit. Cafe, gift shop at reasonable prices, and free toilets Inc a disabled toilet which was clean.

    Such an amazing place so hard to compare with London parks especially the really busy ones like Richmond or Hyde Park where to get yourself your own space without elbowing neighbouring picnic lovers on a nice day is nearly impossible. This is our favourite open space to go to whenever the weather's nice. The area is constantly clean ready and inviting for family fun down around the castle and river and car par surrounded by picnic tables and a lot of easy hills for a proper Sunday walk.

  • 5/5 Sian H. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to walk with the dog on a hot day. Nice place for children - has a few things to see whilst walking around and a playpark - we took a pram which at points was difficult to navigate up the hills. We managed it but it was hard. Possibly should have researched more the route to take but we'd never been before

    Holidays are the best time to take your kids to this place. Being here and enjoying nature is always good. Taking a walk along the river toward the hills or playing on a small play ground always refreshes people.

👍👍 Lovely place for a coffee, cake, pancakes, and a pleasure walk on a Sunday afternoon. The views are beautiful, and you can choose short trails or long trails. Staff at the cafe and crepe place are very friendly, and that also helps creating a nice atmosphere.

👍👍 This place is great. Best milkshakes in Sevenoaks! You can choose whatever treat they have and they will blend it into a milkshake for you. They also do amazing sandwiches/bagels/baguettes! And can even create off-the-menu ones for you. The owners are wonderful and super friendly!
