Chelsham, Surrey - Medieval sites at Henley Wood & Holt Wood
My June country walk takes us to two large earthworks/enclosures dating back to medieval times. It was a beautiful day for filming and is quite wonderful countryside.

On the very busy A2022 at Kent Gate Way there is a Thames Water pumping station and behind it, the home of Croydon Rugby Football Club. In World War II this area was home to a Works Repair Depot, and a team of 120 personnel, responsible for carrying out essential repairs to maintain our effectiveness in the aerial battles over Britain, in particular the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. ...
Chelsham to Nore Hill - discovering an old quarry, anti-aircraft battery and Bronze Age Enclosure
zhlédnutí 437Před 2 měsíci
Three main elements to this walk, each with their own story. Great that these pieces of our history are all reachable within a walk of just over 4 miles. Note that you can do a shorter walk by cutting out the path down (and up!) which takes in Hovings Hole. That would shorten it by maybe 1.5 - 2 miles and be slightly easier on the legs - there is a gate by Worms Heath Cottages. Links referred t...

This year marks their centenary and the team at Kenley Revival put together a trail around the airfield perimeter highlighting those who served and those who sadly lost their lives, where their take-off from RAF Kenley ended up being for the very last time. I am joined by Linda Duffield fro...

A loop walk of just over three miles to discover Titsey Airstrip which I did not know existed until I saw it on a map. A bright, sunny, breezy spring morning and a pleasure to vidsit this area just inside the M25 between J6 and Clacket Lane Services.

A revisit to Sanderstead to follow a Bourne Society walk put together by Joy Gadsby in 1997. Much remains but some pointers on the trail are no longer there.

Botley Hill, the Greenwich Meridian & one of Surrey's highest hills - a country walk

On this walk I start there, head down to the North Downs Way, through the meridian line then up past the chalkpits, visit a water tower then back along the Ridge to Botley Hill. The weather was a mix of sunshine, breeze and cloud and the walk was highly enjoyable! Links referred to in this video: OS Map for th...
