Elmstead Wood & Marvels Wood (Mottingham Woods)
Elmstead Wood and Marvels Wood are the remains of what was an extensive mainly oak forest. Elmstead Wood is entered from Elmstead Lane close to Elmstead Wood station whilst Marvels Wood can be accessed from Castlemaine Road. The woodland area is crossed with many paths and includes circular trail walks as well as being on the route of the Green Chain Walk. Marvels Wood has many wood sculptures and tree carvings as well as a magnificent 100-metre-long mural on the concrete panel boundary wall with Grove Park cemetery. An active Friends Group needs to be re-established to help preserve and maintain the features which are now mainly looked after by one local resident and former Chair of the recent Friends Group - originally called the Friends of Mottingham Woods. Marvels Wood attracts many local residents and families who come to admire the surroundings and what has been created.
