A walking trail in Sydenham Hill Wood

Sydenham Hill Wood is an intriguingly incongruous patch of wilderness that has an air of secrecy about it, despite being surrounded on all sides by the urban sprawl of south London. It’s stitched through with easy walking trails and is full of wildlife, making it popular with families.
