River Shuttle

Continuing east, it flows through Bexley Woods and then follows the south side of the major A2 London-to-Dover road and through the grounds of Beths Grammar School until it flows into the River Cray just south of Hall Place.

A walk called the Shuttle Riverway follows the river for its entire length of five miles (about 8 km).

The walk follows the river where possible but also uses woods, parks, alleyways and some linking roads.

A tributary, the Wyncham Stream, flows into the Shuttle in Hollyoak Wood Park.

Its route from the Sports Grounds on the A20 to Holly Oak Park, takes it past Dulverton Primary School, under the Dartford to London via Sidcup railway line, the Old Farm Avenue allotments and under Halfway Street.
