Nearest station Rainham . to finish: Section distance: 4 miles (6.4 kilometres). Introduction. This section starts with the fascinating Upminster Windmill and generally follows the River Ingrebourne. You walk through Hornchurch Country Park which has gone through several phases as a farm, military airfield, gravel quarry and rubbish tip, until its acquisition in 1980 by the local authority. The terrain is almost completely level with tarmac or firm gravel paths and there are no stiles, so all this section is very accessible. There are pubs at Upminster Bridge, Hacton Lane, Rainham Road, Rainham village, and cafes and toilets at Rainham and Hornchurch Country Park. There is also a toilet next to Upminster Bridge station. Directions. Leave Upminster Bridge station and turn right onto the busy Upminster Road. Go under the railway bridge and past The Windmill pub on the left. Cross lngrebourne River and then turn right into Bridge Avenue. To visit the Upminster Windmill continue along the main road for a short distance. The windmill is on the left. Did you know?

The mill is only open on occasional weekends in spring and summer for guided tours, and funds are currently being raised to restore the mill to working order. Continue along Bridge Avenue to Brookdale Avenue on the left and opposite is Hornchurch Stadium.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .

For this reason we suggest you book in with the leader ahead of turning up. Please take note of the walk leaders’ summary of the walk as this may have information regarding any pinch points such as stiles where social distancing may need to be considered.

  • Havering Sinc Review 2016
    Annex 33 CABINET MEETING 19th JULY 2017 HAVERING LOCAL PLAN HAVERING SINC REVIEW 2016 1 Havering SINC Review 2017 This review has been carried out by Havering Wildlife Project, which functions as the Wildlife Sites Partnership for Havering. Notes 1. Havering’s current list of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) was drawn up in 2003 based on habitat survey work carried out for the GLA in 2000/1. A lot has changed in Havering since then, including the establishment of the Thames Chase Community Forest, and this review has focussed on new wildlife habitat that has developed in the intervening years and significant changes affecting current SINCs. 2. A key conclusion of the Government-commissioned Lawton Report Making Space for Nature was that we needed to create larger and better connected natural areas in order to conserve our biodiversity. This places a premium on sites that form part of a larger unit of adjacent SINCs or that interconnect SINCs, and this is reflected in the citations that follow. 3. The previous GLA survey was essentially a habitat survey, supplemented by observations of species using the habitat that were made at the time. For proposed new SINCs, this review has drawn on details of that original survey, plus significant recent records or surveys (e.g. of water voles) and a walkover survey of prospective new SINCs. 4. Sites have been graded this time based on analogy with sites graded by GLA in the previous survey, with additional weight given for membership of a larger grouping and/or connectivity (point 2 above) and for habitats or species of particular significance locally.

What is less well known is that it is also one of the best places in the world to enjoy wildlife, and to acquire the skills of a naturalist and wildlife photographer. A large and varied network of reserves and some of the best wildlife-visitor infrastructure in the world, means that London is a surprisingly good destination for wildlife photographers, naturalists and tourists. The presence of a number of local natural history clubs and societies who organise field meetings led by outstanding all-round naturalists means it is also probably unmatched in the potential it offers for people to build their skills as naturalists. Furthermore, London has a long history of having some of the world’s pre-eminent scientific and biological institutions, together with smaller local societies also with long histories staging public talks ranging from cutting edge science to discovering wildlife in your backyard. London is amazing for enjoying wildlife and for developing field skills. For tourism companies, London is attractive with its high density of affluent travellers with an interest in wildlife.
