Chislehurst Commons offers free guided walks throughout the year, each one with a different focus.
The walks are led by Head Keeper Jonathan Harvie, accompanied by some of the Trustees who voluntarily manage the commons on behalf of the community.
The walks start at 2pm and last approximately 1.5hrs. No need to book, just turn up at the advertised meeting point.
