I used to live just on the edge of the heath and you can make a great loop out of the 15 or so routes up onto the hill. If you started at Blackheath Hill, immediately on your left at the top (slightly back on yourself) is Point Hill which is short but pretty steep, next around is Hyde Vale, the least steep of all the routes up the hill, then there is Crooms Hill next to the park, cut round to the right and you can come back up the hill through the middle of the park, left at the exit of the park and left again at the 5-way traffic lights is Maze Hill going back down the far side of the park, turn right at the old swimming baths and along Trafalgar Road, then right at the crossroads by the Ship and Billet and the big bingo hall - that's Vanburgh Hill, always a laugh, turn around at the mini roundabout at the top there and you can do it all again in reverse! Or just turn right at that roundabout, back to the park and stop for a well earned cuppa at The Tea Hut on the heath. :-)
There is also Westcombe Hill next around from Vanburgh (comes out at the bottom by the big A20 flyover, bit busier though, not so fun) and going back the other way from Blackheath Hill are Dartmouth Hill/Morden Hill, Lewisham Hill (AKA Wat Tyler Road), Belmont Hill and Lee Road, that you can work into another loop, coming back via Blackheath Village and past the station. There are probably a few others but they aren't packed in as tightly as the ones on the river side of the hill.
Enjoy!
