Summer Walk on the Pool River - Sunday 21st July

[michael]

If you have never been for a walk along the pool river then you deserve to treat yourself to a visit to this river flowing from Lower Sydenham to Catford and then on to Ladywell Fields. Despite starting behind Sainsbury’s in Lower Sydenham, this is a remarkably pleasant walk suitable for walkers of all ages.

The Forest Hill Society are leading a walk along this route this Sunday starting at 11am. If you are new to the area this is a lovely way to explore an area you might not otherwise know about. All are welcome.

The walk starts at the entrance to the Riverview Walk, opposite the Railway Tavern on Southend Lane close to Sainsbury's Petrol Station and the Southend Lane bridge. Map at http://bit.ly/q9Dt7I

We will follow the river through Catford and on to Ladywell Fields, returning back to Catford where walkers may wish to partake in refreshments at the Catford Bridge Tavern.

The walk will take 1½ - 2 hours.
Please wear proper shoes (not flip flops, high heels, or carpet slippers) and bring sun screen.

PM me if you require further information.

Its a great walk, and also a very pleasant cycle route too! Ladywell fields is great , check out the community orchard and restored riverbanks. If you follow the cycle route you end up at the Thames in Deptford/Greenwich

And it has just been brightened up even more by young local people painting art along the route.

Fantastic - I'm coming! (and then definitely going to the pub!)

Coincidence: had never heard about this walk till the other week when someone who visited us as part of the Festival Arts Trail was raving about it; can't wait...... many thanks
