  Hiking In London, May-21

  Easy and pleasant walk through woodlands nestled in the middle of London's South-Eastern suburbs

  Length 12 km (8 m)

  His is an easy and pleasant walk through woodlands nestled in the middle of London's South-Eastern suburbs. Petts Wood was saved by locals from developers in the early part of the 20th century, while Scadbury Park has been in private ownership for centuries until it was bought by Bromley Council in 1983. Bromley Council declared it a Nature Reserve and opened it to the public. In Petts Wood there is a memorial to William Willett who built many houses in South-East London and campaigned for the introduction of Daylight Savings Time. Scadbury Park was for some time owned by the Walsingham family, who had close relationships with Tudor monarchs, including Elizabeth I. The ruins of their moated manor house can still be seen.

  An optional extension leads you to the Chislehurst Caves (also see here), old flint and chalk mines which were dug starting in the 13th century until mining stopped in the 19th century. More recently the caves have been used as air raid shelters in WWII, for locations for TV and film and concert venues

  swcwalks, swcwalk 309, Petts Wood Circular. 29/11/19.

  amib, Dec-19

  This short walk of around 7.5 miles in SE London is ideal for Winter's escapes from the Central zones. It's a small lung of rejuvenation in Zone 5 and is mainly wooded. This has meant that it has been taken over by Parakeets, who can be heard in the back-ground throughout. Almost like being in an aviary!

  Petts Wood was saved from development in the early 20th Century, whilst Scadbury Park was bought from private owners in 1983 by Bromley Council, who turned it into a Nature Reserve.

  There's a memorial to William Willett in Petts Wood; he campaigned for Daylight Savings Time.

  A very decent woodland walk, spoilt only by the crossing of the A208. A busy road!

  Not too bad underfoot, whilst in the woods, but a bit muddy in the few open areas that occur.

  There's a decent picnic area about 1.5 miles before the lunch-time pub.
