Foots Cray Meadows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Foots Cray Meadows is an area of parkland and woodland (97 hectares in all) found in the London Borough of Bexley, United Kingdom. It borders the towns of Albany Park, Sidcup, Foots Cray, and North Cray and has the River Cray running through it. The London Loop, a famous public recreational walking path also known as the "M25 for walkers", runs through the meadows and into Sidcup gardens at Sidcup place, just west of the meadows.
A notable feature of the area is the Five Arches bridge, as well as the Penny Farthing Bridge situated on the River Cray. The area is particularly noted among dog walkers.
[edit] History
The area was originally part of the Footscray Place estate, and during the 18th century, the Five Arches bridge was built. After it's destruction, in the late 1940s, the area was turned into a public recreation park.
