Sun 25th May walk: Syd Wells Park to One Tree Hill

[Blushingsnail]

The Forest Hill Society asked me to post this:

The Forest Hill Society has organised a guided walk from Sydenham Wells Park to One Tree Hill on Sunday 25th May, starting at 2.00pm at the lake in Sydenham Wells Park.

The walk should take about 2 hours and be suitable for most types of buggy, even though there is an off road element through Sydenham Woods. If you are planning on driving to Sydenham Wells Park, you can return on the 363 bus which goes from Forest Hill Road up Sydenham Hill.

The idea is to celebrate the plan to extend the popular Green Chain walk linking South East London's open spaces to SE23.

The more green corridors we can keep open in our urban environments, the more pleasant it is for us all to enjoy walking. At the moment, the Green Chain covers 16.5 miles of green walks from Crystal Palace to three points on the River Thames.

According to its website, www.greenchain.com, the Green Chain has "helped to protect and improve our open spaces so helping to prevent further building taking place."

The plan is to create a spur which heads out from Crystal Palace to Sydenham Wells Park, through the woods, across the Horniman Gardens, to One Tree Hill and then on to Nunhead cemetery.

We hope many of you will be able to join us on 25th May.

STOP PRESS

The Forest Hill Society have just found out from the vicar of St Augustine's on One Tree Hill that there will be refreshments available at the church on the afternoon of our Green Chain Walk. There is a concert at the church which starts at 3pm so, if we up the pace, we might get to enjoy some music as well!
