A well-marked trail through undulating parks and woodlands, with the more urban sections navigated by footpaths between houses.
The two named trails meet in Littleheath Woods and continue through Selsdon Wood before diverging.
After lunch, a bridle path and a footpath take us most of the way to Whyteleafe Station.
Train: East Croydon Station (Zone 5); frequent services from London Bridge and Victoria. Return from Whyteleafe Station (Zone 6); trains to London Bridge every half hour. If travelling to Victoria you can leave the walk a few minutes earlier at Upper Warlingham.
Lunch: after a short distance on London Loop, we detour to Farleigh Common for a lunch stop (no benches) with nearby pub for toilets and drinks.
Toilets: no amenities in the morning so use toilets on the train or at East Croydon Station.
