We returned to Lullingstone Country Park and on a different route came across this viaduct.
Some information about it
This impressive nine-arched red-brick viaduct is a prominent feature on the line to the delightfully-named “Bat & Ball” station. The structure was built by the independent “Sevenoaks Railway”, incorporated in 1859 to link the “Chatham” main line with the market town of Sevenoaks.
The branch was initially single-track, seeing its first services on 2nd June 1862, but the viaduct was built to accommodate two tracks from the outset, because the line was doubled in the following year.
A Maidstone extension from Otford opened on 1st June 1874, this again single-track, but following in the footsteps of the original Bat & Ball line, this was soon doubled, two-track working commencing on 11th August 1875.
The viaduct has nine arches of 30-foot span, and rises to a height of 75-feet above the valley.

After talking to my dad recently, he mentioned about Lullingstone Country Park walk
So today we tried it.
Lullingstone Castle is one of England’s oldest family estates, dating back to the time of Domesday
The present Manor House and Gatehouse, which overlook a stunning 15-acre lake, were built in 1497 and have been home to the same family ever since. Both Henry VIII and Queen Anne are known to have been regular visitors. Hidden in the grounds, alongside the River Darent, visitors will also find “Queen Anne’s” Bathhouse and an 18th century Ice House.
