Description

The southern half of this walk goes through the Crayford and Dartford Marshes, a green-blue oasis in the suburban and semi-industrial NW Kent corridor. That section also uses two waymarked long distance routes, the Thames Path extension (here overlapping with the English Coast Path) from Thames Road to the bridge at Bob Dunn Way. Then the Darenth Valley Path south until 200m from the end point. The northern half cuts through two small urban greenspaces, passes a train station and a couple of bus routes and there are a couple of shops, cafe and takeaways just over the Slade Green station footbridge. Unlike Eridar 1 it only has two brief sections on the busy Thames Rd.

Sadly the peace might be marred at the weekend because a large field next to the River Cray confluence is used as a dirtbike track. They've also created a series of bumps along part of the sea-wall path. The noise does fade away quickly after the bridge

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.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
