It traces a circle around the margins of Greater London, largely via green spaces and alongside waterways, sometimes feeling unmistakably suburban, at others entirely rural. Its greatest fascination, though, comes in the ‘edgelands’, the intriguing zones where nature and the urban butt up against each other. You will discover lost Tudor palaces, echoes of the Battle of Britain airfields, Dickensian marshes, industrial relics, idyllic chalk streams, a remarkable array of wildlife and frequent fabulous views.
