    Hiking

    Has a tearoom at the base, and you can climb to the roof for exceptional views on a clear day—there’s a small entry fee.

    Hiking

    They do a nice afternoon tea. You can also walk a short distance to Oxleas Meadow, which has a great little cafe with superb views. Section 5 of the Green Chain Walk, and the first section of the Capital Ring both pass Severndroog Castle.
    There are binoculars available on the viewing platform, and you might be lucky enough to find a knowledgable guide up there.

    Lovely small viewing tower with its own cafe and small woods - Castle Wood. Part of much larger Oxleas Woods.

    Greenwich Park, Shooters Hill & Eltham Palace loop from Blackheath - Maritime Greenwich

    180m

    Embark on a demanding hike through London's varied landscapes, starting from Blackheath and circling through historic Greenwich. This route offers a dynamic experience, from the open vistas of Greenwich Park, where you can gaze across the city from the Royal Observatory, to the serene, ancient woodlands surrounding Shooters Hill. You will cover a substantial 15.4 miles (24.7 km) with an elevation gain of 593 feet (181 metres), making it a difficult undertaking that typically requires about 6 hours and 27 minutes to complete.

    Before you set out, be aware that this is a challenging hike best suited for those with a very good fitness level, given its length and the significant ascents, particularly within Greenwich Park. The trail surfaces vary considerably, including paved sections, natural paths, and gravel, so wear appropriate footwear. Plan your start time to allow ample daylight for the full duration, especially if you prefer a more leisurely pace.

    This loop is notable for its blend of natural beauty and rich history, guiding you through a UNESCO World Heritage Site and past the architectural marvel of Eltham Palace, which showcases a unique fusion of medieval and Art Deco styles. The journey provides a deep dive into London's past, offering glimpses of royal heritage and expansive green spaces that contrast with the urban sprawl.
