Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
This linear walk from Hayes to Bromley South is linked by paths to Keston, Leaves Green, Biggin Hill and Luxted before looping back to Keston; this time going by its ponds.
Next we follow the contours of the River Ravensbourne through Padmall Wood, Barnet Wood, and other woods to Hayes Street Farm Trout Fishery. We then enter Scrogginhall Woods which leads us into Norman Park at which point the river enters a culvert. We pass Bromley Town Football Club for a short spell of road walking followed by an urban footpath which takes us to Bromley South where the walk ends.
Some paths may be muddy. Bluebells are expected to carpet sections of the trail around Biggin Hill. The terrain is varied with sections along single file track, across fields, through woods and parks. This walk will be led at a brisk pace.
Please bring a packed lunch.
Drop-out points: Bus 320 to Bromley South Train Station.
