One section that it passes through is a
parkland know as Ladywell Fields to the south west of Lewisham. The path is
marked by plaques that are set in to the ground and the one shown in the
photographs is in Ladywell Fields.
The Sydenham Society website [visit
link] tells us:
"Like cycling but don’t like
traffic? Then why not take advantage of one of the south-east’s best cycle
paths? It’s right on your doorstep and almost all the route is off-road along
well-signposted tarmac and concrete paths.
The Waterlink Way allows you to
cycle north from SE26 to Greenwich along the banks of the Pool and Ravensbourne
rivers all the way to Greenwich. Head south, in the other direction and the
route takes you through Kelsey Park to South Norwood Country Park and beyond –
all the way to Eastbourne if your legs can carry you that far!
Access the park from the end of the
spine road to the left-hand side of the Savacentre at Bell Green or further
north at the end of Selworthy Road.
The Waterlink Way is part of
National Cycle Network Route 21. From Greenwich you can access Route 4 (the
Thames Path) or push your bike through the Greenwich foot tunnel to join more
car-free cycle routes on the Isle of Dogs."
