Hi there, sorry if I've posted this already... I can't see it in General so I'm posting again. Here's a link to my local Kent walks website, all within reach of East Dulwich/Peckham/Lewisham. The latest post on the home page includes easter egg hunts and guided walks for the coming long weekend at great places within 20 miles. The link is:

Thank you, this is great. I plan to take my kids to do the Emmetts Garden easter egg hunt and then the circular walk

Thanks so much for posting your blog on here - we thoroughly enjoyed the Downe Circular today. It was perfect for our 5 and 3 year olds. Posted some pics on my blog http://hernehillmum.com/2016/03/28/a-family-walk-around-down-house/


I'll be working my way down the list of suggested walks during the year I expect!

Thanks amac. I did the Downe walk this afternoon with my 2 sons who are 11 and 9 and we had a lovely time. We left ED about midday and got to Downe within an hour. The walk was the perfect length for an afternoon followed by a visit to the tea shop. Home by 5pm! We accidently went a bit off the route in places but easily found our way back again. Thanks also Pamela78 for recommending it. We will also be working our way through the list.

Thanks again.

Amac, we did another of your routes today. This afternoon we went out and did Walk 2: Shoreham (Kent) Circular. We all enjoyed outselves and the walk was very easy to follow. Finished off with a soft drink outside the pub in Shoreham before driving home.

There wasn't very much mud at all and there is just 1 steep part so I think young children would be able to complete it.

There are a few perfect picnic spots next to the river so we will be back in the summer to do that and have a paddle too.

The route would also suit a trail run really nicely and I am hoping to go back and do that sometime soon.

Thanks amac for plotting the route.

Goodliz, really glad to hear you enjoyed the walk. The Shoreham walks are easy to extend: if you continue up the steep hill to the woods at the top there are more paths to explore that can all bring you back to Shoreham eventually if you keep your bearings. Shoreham isn't bad for mud; but One Tree Hill and Ide Hill walks are back to quagmirish in parts thanks to heavy showers this week.

Absolutely Goodliz... and the great news is the mud has now almost all gone, and the bluebells are still just about in their prime though will be fading very soon now. Best walk for bluebells is Ide Hill circular (can't miss 'em). Shoreham Circular walk has great bluebells if you extend the walk by about 15 minutes by walking through Meenfield Wood at the top of ridge (ie, continue up the hill to the top before turning right on path). Here's the site again... https://localkentwalks.wordpress.com/

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
