London and the South East

Discover ancient woodlands, seemingly asleep, on one of our winter walks across London and the South East. Path networks meander across old meadows, and past hedges laden with berries. Look out for winter visitors like waxwings and fieldfares.

Some of our places we care for in the South East of England will be opening with guided tours, so you’ll need to pre-book before your visit. These tours will be led by expert volunteers and will show the places in a new light. You may also need to book in advance at some other larger places, where visitor numbers need to be carefully managed for practical reasons.
