Description
A mix of roadside (with pavements), woodlands and meadows in Scadbury Park and some greenspace paths parallel to the roads on the Sidcup side. There is a traffic free way to get across the busy A20 trunk road.
The OS mapping inside Scadbury Park isn’t very helpful but I’m attaching two screenshots from Open Street Maps (trails ver.) from summer 2022. There are also information boards / maps within Scadbury Park itself. There is a brief overlap with the London Loop way-marked route (Section 2) including the A20 crossing which may help (or possibly hinder) navigation.
Within Scadbury Park the paths are not all paved, there are probably some stiles and gates plus seasonally rutted or muddy sections. For a straightforward pavemented alternative don’t take the turn off onto Old Perry Street but keep straight ahead on the main road (Perry Street / A222) until you reach the A20 junction, then head towards the hospital and you should rejoin the route somewhere within the under/over/under-pass.
Breakpoints.
Multiple bus routes go past the A20 crossing/Queen Mary Hospital area which is about halfway along the route. There are many options to eat (and some to stay) in Sidcup High Street or at the Chislehurst end. A nice mid-route choice is the Sydney Arms on Old Perry Street

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.
