For the next walk on Sunday 9 August, we will be following the river Ravensbourne from Ladywell to its confluence with the Thames at the mouth of Deptford Creek. The walk will go via the Riverdale Sculpture Park (a little-known green space on Molesworth Street), Cornmill Gardens (by the Glass Mill leisure centre), the wonderful Brookmill Park and Deptford Creek which we will view from the Ha’Penny Hatch Bridge and the Laban Centre.
We will meet at 2pm outside Ladywell rail station. The walk is three miles long on level terrain and should last about two and a half hours. At the end, we should be able to cross the new pedestrian bridge over the creek mouth and walk along a short section of the Thames Path to Greenwich for train, DLR or buses home.
Lewisham guided walks Do they still take place? Details here are very out of date! Interested in the area of Riverdale Sculpture Park and how accessible it is?
Lewisham Nature Walks?
Hi Kathleen,
There are still nature walks in Lewisham, and you can find more information about them here https://lewishamnaturewalks.wordpress.com/ . There is also a link to this website on our blog. Riverdale Sculpture Park is currently inaccessible due to the works in central Lewisham.
Walks tend to be advertised on the blog as and when we hear about them, so it is worth keeping an eye out.
I hope this helps.
Jess
