Families, walking groups or curious explorers are invited to walk between Bromley’s Millennium Rocks, which were installed in 2000 to mark the new millennium. These Lewisian Gneiss boulders are among the oldest rocks in Britain, having been sourced from Lochinver in northwest Scotland and gifted by The Highland Council.
A downloadable map is available to guide walkers between the locations of the Millennium Rocks found throughout the borough’s parks and public spaces, with printed copies available free of charge from local libraries. If you’re going on the walk this week, be sure to talk plenty of water to drink too.
To celebrate the Millennium Rocks, family‑friendly rock painting activities have also been organised during the May half term, offering children and families a creative way to engage with Bromley’s geological story. The next one is on Thursday 28 May 2:30pm at Hayes Library
Hayes Library is also hosting a special Lego club on Saturday 30 May at 2:15pm with the chance to build caves, stone circles and fossils.
The Millennium Rocks project was originally developed by the Ravensbourne Geological Society with support from Bromley council. Alongside the installation of the boulders, 50,000 rock samples were distributed to local school children, linking education, science and place.
