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.

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
