Chislehurst Commons

The Trustees of the Commons are responsible for the protection of the Commons, and we work with them, and support them financially from time to time. One of our Executive Committee members is a Trustee.

Scadbury Park Nature Reserve

The Friends of Scadbury help residents and visitors enjoy Scadbury Park Nature Reserve, a 300-acre wild haven on the eastern edge of Chislehurst, overlooking the River Cray. It forms part of a wildlife corridor connecting Jubilee Country Park, Petts Wood, and the London Loop.

Friends of Chislehurst Recreation Ground

FOCRG is a volunteer group, set up in March 2010, to preserve and enhance the environment of Chislehurst & Walden Recreation Grounds for the benefit of the local community, in partnership with the London Borough of Bromley.

National Trust

Chislehurst includes National Trust land, such as Petts Wood and the Hawkwood Estate. We partner with the Trust to conserve our green spaces, which they work to protect for everyone’s enjoyment.

Footpaths & Walks

There are many interesting walking routes in and around Chislehurst. Along with the paths over the Commons, you can explore Petts Wood, St. Paul’s Cray, and Hawkswood. Additionally, there is a circular footpath around Scadbury that is popular among joggers and dog walkers. Our local footpaths must remain accessible to everyone and are maintained for future use.
