With foreshore to investigate if tide low and Thames to walk along plus lovely park close by

Which park is close by?

[Fuschia]

Swan st I think it's called

Opposite the clipper pub along rotherhithe st

You can walk along the Thames path till just before the Hilton then turn back into rotherhithe st

It's quite a small park but has some big blocks to climb on and a pirate ship and is quite shady

It certainly makes a (free) day out for us, farm and scoot along the Thames then park

Is possible also to get a river boat

And there is a Eco park and Brunel museum I think ( not been)

[Fuschia]

It's a playground, I suppose

Love this farm. So sweet feeding the goats out of your hand (yeah I like doing this more than the kids I think).

Thanks.

Just wanted to give this thread a push back up, in case anyone out there needs activities to fill in the holidays. We went this morning to the farm birds session, the kids loved it. A mixture of teaching, hands on activities, and crafts as well as lots of information about the other animals too. Just ?1 a child, well worth it.

There were only 5 kids taking part, which surprised me.

Was quite entertaining watching the "community payback" boys reluctantly sweeping up goat poo too :)

Can I also suggest Deptford creek as worth looking at for hands on activities ... Fishing and mudlarking etc

Also there is loads on in horniman gardens inc sports and shows in the bandstand
