Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
An interesting varied walk with wonderful views. We start by climbing onto Kenley Common, followed by a long stretch around the perimeter of Kenley Airfield, which was used during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War. It is now used for gliders. The walk continues to Happy Valley and Chaldon, before stopping for lunch at Coulsdon Common. There is a pub, but please bring a packed lunch. After lunch we follow the London Loop and climb onto Riddledown before descending to the recreation ground and station at Whyteleafe.
Possible drop out point after 7 miles by taking a shortcut to Whyteleafe station and missing out Riddlesdown.
The finishing time of the walk is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors, such as weather, the speed at which the group walks, and the number of breaks taken.
No booking required
