Join Liz and other members for this enjoyable Autumn Walk from Severndroog Castle with its amazing views, through lovely, ancient Oxleas Wood to Eltham Palace. We will partly follow the Green Chain Walk as we go through Eltham North and South Parks, admire the stunning views and ponds to reach Eltham Palace. The walk is a mix of woods and open spaces, meadows and parks. We can discuss the long, interesting history of the area as we walk. It is about 3 to 4 miles and takes about two and half hours. We pass two park cafes, where we can make a stop. It is not a circular walk, as we finish in Eltham, there are spots where you can leave the walk if you are flagging. Eltham Palace is beautiful, now managed by English Heritage and has an excellent cafe and shop.

Meet at 10.15 at The Green Chain post, it is very obvious, over towards the woods on Eltham Common opposite the Red Lion Lane bus stop. The bus stop is directly after the old Police Station at the junction of Shooter’s Hill Road and Well Hall Road (A205), SE18 3RN.
