For #FingerpostFriday, a couple of posts on Drive Road, which crosses the #LondonLOOP on #FarthingDowns. Drive Road is now a #PublicBridleway, but it was originally an ancient #DroversRoad, used to drive animals to market in #Croydon and #Banstead

Bluebells are starting to appear across @CoLEppingForest. Help us protect these precious perennials by keeping to paths. Please don't pick or trample over them to take pictures. It is against the law to intentionally pick, uproot or destroy bluebells. news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/epp…

No surprise that Section 5 of the #LondonLoop is the most loved - the route crosses #Riddlesdown, #KenleyCommon, #CoulsdonCommon, #HappyValley and #FarthingDowns, all of which are in the #SouthLondonDowns #NationalNatureReserve

Contrary to other social media messages you may see, it is not helpful to discard your leftover 🎃 in #EppingForest. The pumpkins may harbour diseases which can upset the biodiversity of this protected ancient woodland. Please dispose of them in the food waste. Thank you.
