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

Moderate circular walk exploring the green spaces of Dagenham through Local Nature Reserves, Country Parks, a river floodplain, along the recently restored beds of the Wantz Stream and the Beam/Rom Rivers. This walk has a variety of landscapes, from acid grassland, fenland and woodland to marshland and sandy shrub land via woods and a tranquil meandering valley. Please wear boots as there is mud and some uneven grass paths.
Morning/afternoon stop for coffee/tea and toilets (café). If you would like a cream tea (tea/coffee, scone, jam and cream for £4.80) please let the leader know (07899 798298) so we can estimate numbers for the cafe. Please bring a picnic lunch (no café at lunchtime).
Toilets at Romford station on platform 4 and Discovery Centre cafe in morning/afternoon.
Option to drop out after 7 miles at Dagenham East station (District Line).
