About Hillcrest Wood
- 🌳 Hillcrest Wood is a small fragment of the Great North Wood that used to cover South London.
- 🚶♂️ Access to the wood can be challenging for wheelchair users due to a steep and slippery path, particularly after rain.
- 🏡 The entrance from Wells Park Road was previously a path leading to Upper Sydenham Station, which is now private flats.
- 🔎 Exploring the overgrowth in the wood can lead you to a tunnel where the old train platforms were located. However, the tunnel is currently blocked off.
- 🗝️ Vigilant Close has a garage block that used to be the location of a signal box for that part of the railway line.
- 💬 Reviewers mention that it would be helpful to visit Hillcrest Wood with someone who can provide more information about its historical significance.
