Description

This is a short and quiet route through residential streets plus two medium sized parks, Martens Grove and Barnehurst Open Space. Although it is about 1km longer than BexEri 1 it avoids the main roads and the local road layout means there is relatively little cut through traffic.

There are some bus stops near the Parkside Avenue / Manor Way junction which is also less than half a mile walk from Barnehurst Station. Might be useful as there is no station in Bexleyheath town centre, the start/end of the route, although it is a bus route hub. No midway shops or eateries, but plenty at either end

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Report

I walked from Erith to Bexleyheath on a wintry afternoon. I had created the route to avoid walking along the A220, I'm not a fan of busy urban roads. Even so I was a bit surprised how pleasant and quiet I found it. Easy to follow (maybe I'm biased though) even in the parks. It was clear which route to take through Martens Grove and although there was no trodden path in Barnehurst Op Sp, you just follow the scrub along the side of the park.

This route is probably accessible on wheels, although I ran the route and so may not have registered things e.g. kerb drops or narrow pavements. The only non paved part is the grassy slope in Barnehurst Open Space, but Manor Way runs parallel and just outside the park and it would be a very simple diversion. There are a couple of slightly steep but short sections.
