Overview

This 4.5 mile walk firstly tackles a fairly steep climb up to the Wilberforce Oak, before passing by one of a string of commons in the area owned by the City of London. We also encounter Keston Ponds, a delightful spot by the source of the River Ravensbourne. The lunch break will be at a village pub which has recently reopened, before carrying on to Hayes station. 
Toilets at Bromley South and at the lunch stop. Should finish by about 16.00
