We are the Chelmer & Blackwater Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a new route – running north - south from Epping Forest to Peckham through four boroughs: Southwark, Islington, Hackney and Waltham Forest – and the City of London.
It links almost 40 acres of green space and a number of waterways and also connects with other routes eg The Capital Ring.
The route was planned by the Ramblers in partnership with Living Streets, Sustrans and CPRE and delivered by TfL.
