Otford Palace is in the Press! (The Sevenoaks Chronicle on Thursday 18th November 2021)![]()

The site of Archbishop’s Palace in Otford, Kent, dates back to 821 AD but it was in 1515 AD that Archbishop Warham built one of the largest palaces in England, comparable in size to Hampton Court. In the 17th Century, the buildings fell into disrepair and now all that remains is the North West tower, part of the Northern Gatehouse and connecting wall which has been turned into a row of three small cottages. Still a magnificent sight and a great place to take in on your next Darent Valley Walk!![]()
