Walking Events in Croydon

Croydon Council, in partnership with local organisations, provide a range of walking opportunities for residents and visitors. The program of walks are published twice yearly in the 'Walk Croydon' leaflet.

Guided Wildlife Walks - Into the Great Green Yonder
These walks have been available for some time now. They are suitable for most people as the pace is generally easy, but paths can be uneven, muddy at times and hilly in places. Children must be accompanied by a guardian. Dogs on a lead are welcome. All the walks are lead by experienced Countryside Wardens, Park Officers, or Group volunteers.

Saturday 3rd July 2010 - Summer Stroll through Littleheath Woods: Meet the Friends of Littleheath Woods at 10.00am at the junction of Littleheath and Queenhill Roads. for a 1.5 hour stroll to find out how the woods are managed.

Saturday 10th July 2010 - Orchids and Butterflies at Hutchinson's Bank: Meet the volunteers at 11.00am at the junction of Featherbed Lane and Farleigh Crescent, Addington, for a 2 hour guided tour through the nature reserve, in search of orchids and butterflies.
