Overview

We follow the Cray Valley through Foots Cray meadows to Foots Cray.  Tarmac paths lead us to Sidcup Place, where we cross the grass to the Star Inn for a picnic in or near the walled garden.  After subways under a busy road junction, we enter Scadbury Park and pass the remains of the Moated Manor.  Crossing a busy road, we enter St Paul's Cray Common, leading to Petts Wood.  A path, which may be very muddy after rain, takes us to the first of three footbridges over railway lines to the entrance to Jubilee Country Park, where we turn left to Petts Wood Station.

Toilet at Bexley Station for ticket-holders only.

Lunch: picnic at Sidcup Place, use pub for drinks and toilets.
