A Day out in Dulwich Park

One of the great things about SE23 is that we have lots of lovely places on our doorstep (almost). One of them is Dulwich Park. We went there on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon recently. The direct way to walk there is along the dreaded South Circular but after consulting an A-Z I saw that we could in fact cut through Sydenham Hill Wood to get there and almost completely avoid roads!


This is Cox's Walk which goes all the way from Sydenham Hill down (and it is indeed steep in places) to Dulwich Park. Wikipedia tells me it was cut/laid out by Francis Cox in the 1740's purely for the purpose of getting to the pub at the bottom more quickly!

We walked past this cricket match in Dulwich cricket ground:


Then past this old church:


And onto Dulwich Park. Owen had a great time, and so did mum and dad!
