reneet Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Did a north downs walk last year with our 5 then 4 year old. Took the train to Caterham. Walk took about 4 hours. My daughter is a good walker so was great. Nice woodlands and a few great views.

Pamela78 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Possibly too far for you, but we've done a couple of fabulous family walks up Box Hill - http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/box-hill/ - gorgeous views and easy routes from the car park at the top. There are plenty of other nice places for a walk around the Surrey Hills - http://www.surreyhills.org/.Or closer to home Morden Hall Park is nice - less rural / views of course, but close and easy.Hope the weather is kind to you!

sillywoman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 A walk around Shoreham in Kent; close, many routes so can choose length of walk, and a great carvery at Badgers Mount for lunch after.

Carbonara Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/bookham-commons/And check out the list of National Trust places in Surrey and the SE.I haven't been but people rave about the Pinetum at Bedgebury. The deer park around Knole is lovely, and you can access the park and grounds without paying to go into the house.

The Nappy Lady Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Foots Cray Meadow is lovely too - out towards Sidcup. Big grassy area, water to paddle in, widening to lake with water fowl & bridge over it. Plenty of trees etc along river bank @ also a small woodland area.Picnic benches & at far end of river at one end a childrens play area (tricky to spot but it is there).You can walk along one side of the river then cross & walk back up the other side.

StraferJack Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's mentioned on many a thread in the past but Eynesford really is a simple 35 minute train ride away from PR station with plenty of good walking nearby Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26129-nice-autumn-countryside-walk-not-too-far-away/#findComment-584304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
