Decent route along mostly quiet streets and footpaths....

Charles Hedley

It uses hard, smooth paths with dropped kerbs except one very shallow kerb at one road crossing (by the pub and pond on Prince of Wales Road - Blackheath)....

It does follow the Green Chain Walk between Hornfair Park and Woolwich Common and the signs help identify the turnings but it's brief, don't get complacent....

Daisy C

I found it a very nice route, mostly on quiet residential streets and through two parks....

We are soon out of the small park using more quiet streets to reach Hither Green station, where we cross the railway using a pedestrian underbridge. I do have one slight quibble with the GPX here - barriers mean that it is not possible to connect the two outer eastern pavements of Rushey Green directly over Brownhill Road and it makes more sense to cross Rushey Green at the near side of this junction using the pelican crossing....

The path used to get down/up the hill in Greenwich Park is one of the steepest ways to go through the Park but it has the best views and passes the Royal Observatory, the cafe and the coffee-hut, as well as a Meridian photo-op to be stood with one foot in the eastern hemisphere and one in the west....

Through the park it sticks to the paths where cycling is allowed, which makes this a better route than Grebla One if you're cycling. Very easy to navigate....

Kidbrooke has three parks, very little traffic and a station with a handful of shops etc. Over Kidbrooke Park Rd the line goes a bit haywire again, going right through a large building to get to Kidbrooke Station, and ignoring the nearby crossing. And happily the building works near Kidbrooke Station are (nearly?) done and there's no block to walking through. There's also a map/diagram which shows an easy diversion to avoid Edith Nesbitt Walk via Kidbrooke Lane and a better line for either side of Kidbrooke Park Rd....

This route is fine in itself, but it's more fiddly to navigate than it needs to be, the railway underpass is a bit dodgy at night, and it misses out Blackheath Village (quite pretty) and Blackheath (the common) which is (kind-of) off road i.e. fits Slow Ways criteria....

Daisy C

It's a nice walk and Blackheath is lovely, especially when they let the grass grow long....

Daisy C

Excellent 5 star route connecting Greenwich to Blackheath. I made this route to correct errors with Grebla One, especially the misrouting at the hill in Greenwich Park....

Jane Taylor

In fact most of the route is busy because of the popularity of the Greenwich area with tourists but there is still plenty of room to walk and worth it for the views....

Leafy suburban streets until you meet the heath then grass with paths and good views all the way to the last slope down into Blackheath....

porcovolente

A good route but it goes a bit off piste in Greenwich Park, involves climbing over fences into a grassy area on the hill up to the observatory. See photos of fence (no gate) with grassy area behind. I’ll remake as Grebla Two, which keeps all the good bits, and corrects the routing up/down the hill to follow official paths and not climb over fences!...

Jane Taylor

Good route - it looks a bit indirect on the map but it’s worth the detour to get the views from Blackheath. Worth walking on the grass at Blackheath rather than sticking with the pavement....

Jane Taylor

It's amostly entirely on quiet residential terraced roads plus two medium sized parks. It's very short but has loads of good midway rest/eat places on Staplehurst Rd and Hither Green Lane....

Daisy C

The only thing to consider is that the park closes at dusk, so in the winter that section of the walk won't be possible in the evenings....

The steps can easily be avoided by continuing along Granville Park, which will take you to the end point in about the same amount of time as the route....

clarefin

An easy and direct route that crosses Blackheath and Greenwich Park in a fairly straight line before descending into Greenwich. Worth it alone for the view from the park. The suggested route goes through Greenwich Market, which is often busy, but has lots of food stalls and others selling various sorts of merchandise....

Starting in Lewisham the first part of the walk up Granville Park and Eliot Park is quite steep, but then it's downhill along footpaths into Blackheath. The second part of the walk into Blackheath is particularly nice....

Teeds

Starting from Blackheath the first short section of the route is pleasant until Kidbrooke, when it gets very confusing near the station. After navigating a diversion around the big property developments you can rejoin the original route, which is ok until it starts going along the highway. This stretch is quite long, is really noisy and the areas around the path are dirty and felt unsafe....
