We are the charity for Scadbury Park.
Scadbury Park Nature Reserve lies on the eastern edge of Chislehurst, overlooking the valley of the River Cray.
Scadbury Park is a place for you to relax and unwind, exercise and clear your mind. If it's history you're after, we have a medieval manor estate, giving a fascinating insight into the Middle Ages’ heritage.

“Idyllic, many different areas - each with different geology. A circular walk which takes around an hour to complete, unless you are transfixed by its beauty and linger on.”
“A beautiful mixture of woodland and meadow. Lots of gorgeous oaks. A great place for children, families and dogs. It has a wonderful history with the beautiful old remains of the moated manor house.”
