Your kind of afternoon
Big ships. Little explorers.
A sailing ship towers over little explorers, grand buildings invite a second look and a royal hill leaves plenty of room for a picnic pause. Greenwich makes a fine place to borrow a little time from the everyday and spend it together.
Six outdoor missions give children something to spot, imagine or puzzle over, with short trivia, Wanderer Tips and a Photo Moment woven into the guide. Selected stops have a FOXTRACK — a suggested song for that part of the wander. Bring the printable Walk Bingo and let the snack breaks set the pace.
Out on the walk
What you'll do on the walk
Meet the Cutty Sark from the pavement and set sail before anyone has left dry land. Swap ideas about life at sea, then let the little explorers lead the charge into Greenwich Park, where the view is worth every uphill complaint.
Fox spotting chance
Plenty of green and quiet ground. Dusk is your best bet.

Curious corners along the way
A taste of your family afternoon.
A glimpse of the place
Cutty Sark
Meet a famous sailing ship from the pavement and enjoy a sense of adventure before anyone has left dry land.
Greenwich Park
Trade riverside bustle for open skies, room to pause and a view worth climbing for.

Before you set off
Plan your wander.
Route details, timing & access
- All six missions can be completed outdoors without buying attraction tickets. Optional indoor visits, food, drinks and transport are separate.
- Allow about 3½ hours, longer for extra visits and breaks. The climb towards the Observatory is steep; with a buggy, take the path rather than the steps.
- Children need an accompanying adult. Check individual opening times, last entry and closures before choosing an indoor visit.
- Save the PDF before setting off. Google Maps and external links need an internet connection.
- One indoor bingo square is optional, with an outdoor alternative explained in the guide.
Questions
What ages is this family walk for?
It is designed for children aged roughly 5–11 exploring with an adult. Keep your own pace and leave plenty of room for breaks.
Do we need attraction tickets?
No attraction ticket is needed to complete the outdoor missions. You can choose an optional indoor visit; any admission or booking is separate.
Is the route suitable for buggies?
The riverside sections are flatter, but the climb towards the Observatory is steep. Use the path rather than the steps and allow extra time.
How does this differ from the free Greenwich walk?
Time Travellers is a separate Family Edition with activities for ages 5–11, a Large Phone guide and printable Walk Bingo. The free Greenwich guide remains available separately.
What will I receive?
Two PDF files: the Large Phone tour guide and a separate printable Walk Bingo sheet. Download from Etsy after payment is confirmed. No physical item is posted.
