J D Swann leads a walk along a possible route of the lost Wogebourne river, its source emerged from Oxleas Wood on Shooters Hill, the highest point in Greater South London at 132 metres. It was called in 14th C manuscripts the Wogebourne or Woghbourne becoming widely known as Plumstead River in the following centuries. However, by the 1970’s much of the river was enclosed becoming the Wickham Valley shifting names for a mysterious watercourse. On the way we encourage observation of all wildlife. There is some steep uphill terrain, please wear sturdy shoes
