In a departure from the usual forum topics of muggings, traffic jams, second hand fridges and unwanted IKEA furniture, I present to you my 13 beautiful walks in great countryside, many of which are do-able by train from our local stations. A lot of people on this forum will be familiar with these places but I'm hoping to reach people who've moved here from other parts of the UK or other countries who don't know how beautiful places like the Darent Valley are.

Giving this post a bump as we did another one of these lovely walks today.


Took train from Peckham Rye to Otford to do the circular walk - we ended up doing a bit shorter than the full route and finishing at Shoreham. Must have been about 4 miles in total I reckon. Perfect for kids too - our lot ranged from 5 years to 14 years and they all managed the steep slopes and the full distance - picnic in the middle to recharge the batteries! Finished off with a drink at the pub in Shoreham.


It was so nice and we actually did not pass any other walkers which was surprising given that it is half term and such good weather.


Thanks again amac for putting this site together which such easy to follow routes.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
