| Walk Description: | Many mistakenly believe that London's best landscapes and views are found on Hampstead Heath, Richmond Park and, Epping Forest. This walk proves otherwise as it introduces you to the Capital's remarkable South Eastern corner. It's no surprise to participants that this is one of Walk London's most popular walks. You won't know you are in a City for much of this splendid course as we gently climb from Sea Level to almost the highest point in London. Through parkland, ancient woodland, and the principle location of the cult 60s film 'Blow Up', we'll ascend Shooters Hill through wonderful scenery and one of the British Isles most important geological sites. On our descent to the hidden gem of Plumstead Common we'll look down the Thames Estuary right out to the North Sea. Bring your binoculars! A packed lunch is essential. There's no need to book but feel free to ask the Walk Leader, Ian Bull, for more details. Email, ianbull@btinternet.com Phone, 020 7223 3572. |
