Overview

Our walk follows the Wandle-Oaks link, and the Sutton Countryside Walk, via the Oaks Park cafe, returning to the Church alongside minor roads and places of interest. There are several opportunities to leave the walk for alternative bus or train routes back to Croydon, making it a shorter walk.
