Walk Information

The Walk
A short 3 mile walk along flat and mostly well made footpaths. No hills, stiles or other obstacles to climb. A really pushchair, wheelchair and walker friendly route. Most of the route is through suburban parkland but we can still promise you plenty of interest and maybe even one or two surprises! Junior clues have been set by children for children.

The Venue
The Eight Bells has a small car park at the front but there is also plenty of parking available on the surrounding roads. There is a large enclosed garden to the rear with a separate children's play area. Sunday lunch is served from12-4 with a choice of meat, fish or vegetarian options. Snacks and other main courses are available as is a kids menu from £3 with free squash. Booking would be advisable on a sunny day as it can get popular. Call Sarah or Ula on 020 8393 9973. As of the 1st July smoking will not be allowed in pubs which is why we gave our walk this title. The 1st smoke free Quizwalk!
