Charlton House

A challenging ride to Charlton House.
This route takes us through Mottingham and Eltham to reach Charlton park. We will have a coffee stop at the Old Cottage Coffee Shop after admiring Charlton House, a Jacobean mansion in the grounds of Charlton Park. We will return via Blackheath Standard, turning off along Westcombe park road to reach the inland Thames path to Greenwich, and then back along the Waterlink Way as far as the big blue bridge at Bell Green. From this point, we will return to Beckenham Hill station where the ride will end.
This is a challenging, undulating route, not only in terms of distance but also because there are a couple of short steep hills, one of which at least we will dismount and walk; and some stretches of busy roads, albeit with a designated cycle path. You should be confident about riding in traffic.
We will adhere to Covid Restrictions. Please call the leader, Jacqui Turner on 07456840924, if you have booked but there are problems on the day.

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CONTACT DETAILS ARE COMPLETED AND UP-TO-DATE ON LET'S RIDE SITE. THANK YOU.


Please ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions.
Please make sure your bike is in good working order.
