HOW TO FIND CASTLE FARM

On the A225, look out for the Castle Farm signs halfway between the villages of Eynsford and Shoreham. what3words: leaves.tell.design

Approaching from the M25/London side, pin us on a map, follow the farm signs when you get to the postcode area and remember we’re at the bottom of the valley. (Satnavs take you to the top of a hill!)

We’re a farm so not easy to get to by public transport – unless you like a good country walk from the village stations (Shoreham or Eynsford) or don’t mind waiting a long time for a bus! The nearest taxi ranks are at Orpington, Swanley or Sevenoaks.
