Ingrebourne Valley consists of 2 area's,Hornchurch Country Park and Berwick Ponds with the river Ingrebourne running down the middle.It starts at the Optomist Pub(Hornchurch) and finishes at the Albion Pub(Rainham),a distance of approximately 2-3 miles.It is an incredibly mixed habitat with varied Woodland,Marsh dominating,Farmland,large areas of Scrub,lakes and a Working Tip thrown in as well.To cover the whole site will take you about 4-5 hours.
Public Transport Access: There are 2 ways to approach. Firstly,from Rainham,if you are arriving from Rainham Station(C2C) walk round to the Clock Tower and board a Bus,I believe there are 2 on this route and ask to go to Abbey Wood Lane,this is Berwick Ponds a distance of about 1-2 miles from the Clock Tower.When you arrive Berwick Ponds will be straight in front of you through the woods to the wooden bridge and that is where you begin. Secondly: Board a District Line Tube and head for Hornchurch,on leaving the tube turn immediately right(Suttons Lane)and begin walking,you are heading for St.Georges Hospital about half a mile away. As soon as you have cleared the Hospital you will see Hornchurch Country Park on your left, there are a number of entrances to the Park.
