Litter Pick - Lewisham/Deptford (SE London)

Join the Eco Around Community for a litter-pick walk from Lewisham DLR station to Deptford Bridge station along the Waterlink Way, facilitated by Biljana. Waterlink Way connects several parks and green spaces in Lewisham borough, following the Pool and Raversbourne rivers. It stretches 8 miles from South Northwood Country Park to the Cutty Sark ship in Greenwich. Considered one of South London’s hidden gems, it not only provides an enjoyable route to walkers and cyclists, but it also improves habitats for aquatic wildlife. While maintained by Lewisham Council, contributing to the Waterlink Way’s extra clear-up would be much appreciated. **When:** Saturday, 1 August, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm **Where:** We’ll start from Lewisham DLR station and follow the Ravensbourne River along the Waterlink Way, cutting through Brookmill Park, and finishing at Deptford Bridge DLR station.

Day trip by coach - along the East Sussex coast! (NOW FULL)

THE TRIP IS NOW FULL, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND, ADD YOURSELF TO THE WAITING LIST AND I WILL CONTACT YOU IF A PLACE BECOMES AVAILABLE. Come along on Saturday 1st August for a coach trip along the East Sussex coast! **About the trip** East Sussex sits on the south coast and is part of the historic county of Sussex. It has its roots in the ancient kingdom of the South Saxons, who established themselves there in the 5th century AD, after the departure of the Romans. It is known for its green hills, weald-land and pretty seaside towns with their fishing heritage. The ones we will be visiting are: **Bexhill-on-Sea** Bexhill-on-Sea has modern vintage shops, quirky places for art and music, and independent cafés and restaurants. During the Norman Conquest of 1066, it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. In 1804, defensive Martello towers were built along the south coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion and they still exist today. The most notable landmark is the [De La Warr Pavilion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_La_Warr_Pavilion "De La Warr Pavilion"). Built in 1934, the pavilion is Grade I listed, located on the seafront. The building was the result of an architectural competition. **Pevensey Bay** Pevensey Bay is an old fishing village founded in the 1600's. The bay is famed as the 1066 landing site of William the Conqueror and the Norman army. It has a quiet shingle beach and a mix of Edwardian townhouses and beachfront homes. In the early 1900's the village became the holiday resort it is today. **Eastbourne** Eastbourne is a very Victorian seaside resort with a maintained promenade and a restored pier from 1870. It also has a 5-mile stretch of award-winning beaches. It has an art gallery called; Towner Art Gallery, which includes modern British works and the Redoubt Fortress, built during the Napoleonic Wars, which has has a military museum.
