Hi there, once again apologies to ppl bored with me posting these. But here are some great country walks - ideal for kids and adults - in Kent but not far into the green belt mostly. Many are doable by direct train services from Peckham/Nunhead etc. Please take a look: https://kentwalksnearlondon.com/

Know many of the walks well and may cycle out tonight if weather improves. Sadly too many of the pubs are the brewery wreckers Greene King - hopefully they have guest ales on or otherwise it is Guinness.


He's missed out the wonderful Queens Arms at Cowden Pound, community run

Hi Malumbu


Cowden Pound pub is great... though a bit out of the way of my walks I think (near Hever though...). Really like the Castle Inn at Chiddingstone that serves Larkins, although can be touristy. To be honest, if I'm thirsty not too bothered.

Great, glad you enjoyed it. In same area but actually even nicer I can recommend the Fackenden Down walk that starts from Shoreham Station; it's a similar length but takes you up into the hills east of the main valley which are so peaceful and rural. It's at https://localkentwalks.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3176&action=edit

    • Hi Can anyone recommend a gardener to help lay turf and dig in a new flower bed in East Dulwich? thanks
    • It may be worth consulting your vet. If she's diabetic & on medication, she will have missed 1-2 doses. It's a relief to hear that she's home, & I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
    • The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details. 
    • https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/26/cardiff-blackweir-festival-bute-park-dispute?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Another example of a badly sited festival, and a council bending over for the cash. What amazes me is the similarity in every way to Gala - large areas annexed but the council trying to convince everyone it's only a tiny part of the park. Claiming that the flora & fauna is being protected when the reality is a tick-box environmental survey that's not worth the paper it's written on. All very depressing.
