Singapore is an island, small town (in terms of 284 Sq Miles), with a population of around 6 million has got 10 different express ways (AYE, PIE, BKE, ECP, KPE, MCE etc), 1 million plus HDB or public housing, apartments, 350k + condominiums etc. You can see plenty of high rise or skycrapers at every side of the island. Hence, it is also known as concrete jungle.  But the real beauty of Singapapore lifestyle is the addiction to trees, gardens and the every growing eco awareness. In 1967, then, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) wanted to build SG as a Garden City. And in 2024, SG is really a garden city. Why?  Number of Trees: 8 million plus Public space by Hectares: 7800  Number of Parks (including Neighbourhood):  75 plus Focus on vertical greenery (150 plus)  17 reservoirs Rail Corridor or Green corridor (an audacious idea of converting old train track to Malaysia as green sector thereby growing thousands of species and to provide space for walk / bike Eco Link...

There is one classic landmark available ... it is known as Ouse Valley viaduct, Balcombe of West Sussex. You can explore Haywards Heath neighbourhood, Ardingly, valley, riverfront etc for a nature walk and it is an excellent route if you do between Apr to Aug (due to Bellflowers).  You need to board trains either at London Bridge or at Clapham to reach Balcombe.  This is the steet which has got some cafes and eateries at town near Brambe Hall.  Keep yourself hydrated and enjoy nature walks !!! 

 Do walk around Saunderton, Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire .... superb landscape !!! You need to take trains from Marylebone station, Central London to Saunderton. Saunderton railway station is a railway station on the A4010 road between High Wycombe and Princes Risborough. Loads of green surface, up and down hills and it is a delightful nature walk. I did the walk during Autumn and loved every bit of colours and lucky to see Rainbow as well.  There is also Hellfire Caves (https://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/gallery) and cafe for public. Do explore spending some time if you are going as a group.  From Saunderton the route took us to nearby Bradenham, and enjoyed some refreshments at the village church on the green. Dashwood Mausoleum is on top of hills, West Wycombe and it is walkable from Hellfire caves. It is not open and one can walk around and enjoy the town view. Some fusion architecture of Russia and Egypt and was built in 1765.  Enjoy the woods and walk ! Ke...

In 2020-2021,  one of my team mate was living at Slough. I managed to spend the xmas break of 2020 at his place. Due to Covid, we kept it light and explored the neighbourhood during the day and cooked in the evening, watched some movies in Netflix and dozed off.  Some of my interesting observations of the gorgeous neighbourhood of Windsor are: A. There is no issue of buying Asian groceries at Slough neighbourhood.  B. It feels closer to Heathrow but it is not really close. You need to commute in some circular way. C. There are some cafes around Windsor castle and they serve good snacks.  D. I was pleasantly surprised by the Dorney Lake (https://www.dorneylake.co.uk/seasonal-grounds-visiting). The place is magnificient, beautiful, got a small cafe. Plenty of family people visit here as well. You can do a rectangular walk and return to parking spot (around 6km) E. If you follow rowing events, check out the calendar before your visit. Eton wick is nearby and if you can ...

I love this Thames and Town walk route as I lived near Whitechapel for sometime. I do enjoy some sun shine while I walk. But we all know how nice the London weather is !!!   Let us start around Tower Bridge or St. Katherine Docks, Marina Walk thru St. Katierine way and circle around Hermitage Basin to enter Wapping High Street and walk along till you hit the Prospect of Whitby Pub (oldest river side Tavern / Pub).  Walk along Wapping Road, Glamis Road and wonder why Shadwell Basin is still there (just for fun) and take the small right to Thames Path via King Edward Memorial Park. You will get the Thames view soon and walk along till you hit the Jardin's Road. Cross the "T" shaped and walk towards Narrow Street. Do enjoy the view from Breadstreet Kitchen & Bar /Limehouse. You can try a bit of de-tour via Horseferry Road to view Limehouse Basin and come back to Breadstreet also.  Once you are near the Dundee wharf, you will enjoy the view of skycrapers and walk alo...

Bishop's Park is located at Fulham, near Putney Bridge train station of District Line. It has a great location due to Thames riverside or waterfront. Lovely tall trees decorate the banks of the river. Such a delight to see this from the opposite side.  On one side of the river, there are plenty of garages for Boats., mostly from colleges. Putney Pier is also located here and can commute all the way to London.  On the other side of the river, you get to see Bishop's Park and Fulham Football Club.  Bishiop's park is long and rectangular and got plenty of places to picnic or sit and relax by the riverside. Ice cream shops, Fish and Chips, Donna's coffee shop, couple of pubs are all situated around. Do take a stroll in the weekend ! Stay safe. 

Hello Friends, Southern ridges is an excellent walking route for lot of reasons... one of them is, mainly for taking selfies with nice back drops. Route: 1. Kent Ridge Park [via Pond or direct canopy walk) : There are some 3 parking lots around the park. I prefer to start the walk from road side of NACLI office as it allows us to do steep climb walk of around 650 meters.  Once you reach the hill, you can either take right side direction to enter the park via road and to the main entrance of the park or take left [Car Park B] and carry out roundabout walk to see the Pond and enter the park after climbing some more stairs. Canopy walk is simple and not long,  you can read through some war time memory posters while walking. If lucky, you can spot some small green snake sometimes. This is also a good picnic spot. 2. Hort Park: You can enter the Hort Park (Back side) and see the glass houses. Enjoy the all around greenery, flowers, colorful plants and decors of Ho...

One of my favourite track for nature walk is taking a walk between Parkland Green [ECP] and Stadium.. it is around 6km and one can finish the walk between 65 min to 80min. Good thing about the starting point is one can have morning coffee at Cheers or Starbucks... the serene view at 7am is so mesmerising and sound of waves encourages your spirits.. on the left hand side, you can see the ocean while walking... it goes on till you reach the Tunnel near Tanjong Rhu. then the walk becomes little view less with some narrow terrain. then, it joins the backside of the Marina Bay golf place and you can listen the chirping sound of birds... You can now see Bay East Gardens visitor center.... you can refresh with water and use the rest rooms and connect again to a T Point... now, you will have to decide to either go rite or left.... right will take you to Stadium area and the left will take you to Marina Barrage through Gardens by the Bay, East. I like Stadium side... ...
