We are the Bromley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a gently undulating walk all day. We first make our way to the London LOOP which will take us all the way to Chislehurst. Through Darrick Wood, Roundabout Wood, Sparrow Wood and on to our first visit to Jubilee Country Park. Still following the LOOP we cross 3 foot bridges over the railway lines and into Petts Wood. The paths meander through Petts Wood, hopefully passing the Willett Memorial and then on to St Paul's Cray Road to Chislehurst for lunch (Picnic or lunch at the Bull).
After lunch we make our way to the National Trust's Hawkwood Estate, cross the Kyd Brook and turn back, with the brook on out left to the same 3 railway foot bridges. Having crossed these we leave the LOOP and reenter Jubilee Country Park, which we cross from North East to South West. We cross the busy Southborough Lane and on to Southborough Recreation Ground, Knowl Wood and Farnborough Park. Then back via Lovibond's Avenue and Darrick Wood to the start.
The Green of Green St Green is situated on Sevenoaks Road (A223) between Orpington South and the village. It is served by multiple buses such as 358, R5/10, R6 and R11. The train stations are Orpington and Chelsfield, both a mile away. From Orpington get the frequent 358 and get off at Crescent Way (the Green is in front of you). From Chelsfield get the R1 towards Green St Green and get of at the bottom of Glentrammon Road (the Green is on your right). If you must come by car, park in the designated free parking spaces in Shire Lane, only reachable from Sevenoaks Road, near Crescent Way.
