At last we'll finish the 'alternative Capital Ring' with this short but delightful walk back to the starting point for this series at Crystal Palace Park with its Victorian Jurassic Park, also the verdant pleasures of Dulwich Woods. A joint walk with Blackheath Ramblers of about three miles. Should finish by about 12.30.
Meet outside main entrance to Forest Hill station, adjacent to northbound Platform 1: if arriving from the direction of Highbury or London Bridge, you'll need to cross the footbridge.Note that the route includes several ups and downs on unsurfaced paths which are currently quite muddy, particularly in Dulwich Woods, so please wear suitable footwear. The walk may not be suitable for those less steady on their feet.
There are no public toilets at Forest Hill station, though toilets are available not long after the start of the walk at Horniman Gardens. There is no lunch break, though a choice of cafes at the end.
!!! No booking required, just turn up.
