Darent Valley - Eynsford to Shoreham
A favourite walk, not too far from home, to see the Darent Valley while the lavender and wheat are still in the fields and be back in time for tea.

Dulwich & Sydenham Woods
Too hot for a long outdoor walk, so did a little ramble around the local shady woods.

Berwick to Alfriston round trip
SAVE THIS ROUTE! Well, the first two thirds anyway. This is an absolute belter of a walk, especially in Summer.
It starts with a walk through fields of crops and wild flowers; wheat up to your knees, chicory up to your chest, corn up to your eyes.
After 5km you…

Gravesend to Cliffe
From the faded glory and derelict industry of Gravesend out through the Shorne Marshes where herds of wild horses graze, past the ruined Napoleonic forts along the wide Thames, through the wetlands of Cliffe Pools and into the tidy village of Cliffe itself.
I really enjoyed this, the weather was…

Rainham to Grays
This is far from the most beautiful stretch of the Thames estuary, but it was a lot more beautiful on a sunny Summer day than the windy February I walked it before.
The early part of the section, on the LOOP, has been spruced up with new walkways and wild…

Eton to Dorney
This was a lovely walk, but I made a massive mistake…
First, the walk. Mostly along the Thames Path, initially in the shadow of Windsor Castle but then into long stretches of riverside path next to meadows and woods, all beautiful in summer green.
Towards the end we turned inland…

Collier's Wood to Carshalton - Wandle Trail and Beddington Farm
From Colliers Wood along the Wandle was absolutely beautiful in the early Summer sun.
I wanted to try out a different route today so took a detour into Mitcham Common and then Beddington Farm; there are lots of new lakes there but you can only see them from some strategically…

Short walk in the woods - Oxleas and Falconwood
We were in Blackheath and the weather was unexpectedly good so jumped on a bus to Shooters Hill and walked through Oxleas to Falconwood.
Beautifully calm woods, the air thick with birdsong, a lovely warm day. Perfect.

I remember going to a Save Oxleas Wood event in the 80s, glad to know it is still there.

King's Cross to Paddington around the canal
Planned this to start and end with a bank holiday festival; unfortunately the queues for the Korean food festival were RIDICULOUS so we had to skip it. A nice sunny day for a walk around the canal anyway, and took in the Canalway Cavalcade at Little Venice before the rain…

Crystal Palace Park to Dulwich Park via Sydenham & Dulwich Woods
A late start, so after lunch at Crystal Palace market we took a wander through the woods and to Dulwich Park, a favourite local short route.

A Walk Around the River, Wapping to Rotherhithe
A meandering walk along the north bank from Wapping to Docklands, past the old warehouses and narrow alleys, then the ferry across to Rotherhithe where we saw the highlight: a Harbour Seal relaxing on a small beach! My first clear view of a Thames mammal, and what a beauty it…

Uxbridge to Moor Park - LOOP sections 12 & 13 [rewalk]
I think these are my favourite sections of the LOOP. Along the canal, over the fields, through the woods… this has everything, including some great pubs along the way. I last came here almost four years ago so it was amazing to see the progress on the HS2 viaduct; I…

Woolwich to Erith - Thames Path Extension
This is one of the less beautiful stretches of the Thames Path, although it has its moments, and TBH the weather was so nice that I even enjoyed the rubbish bits.
After Woolwich the path is still somewhat wild and gravelly, with some decent views back to the City and…

Chichester Harbour Day 2: Bosham to the Witterings
Wow. What a great walk.
For day 2 I had to get back to the Itchenor ferry, but as I didn't know the tides I decided to cut inland; it was differently scenic, pastoral and rural. I had a little wait for the ferry and wasn't sure where it was…

@Peter I'm planning to walk a similar route in May, when I'm spending the weekend in Selsey. What's the public transport like from West Wittering? Also, did you stop at The Wittering Pub?
