03 Mar 2024It's a lovely route, but I am failing this one, as it was so badly drawn that at places it wasn't possible to follow the route. I've uploaded WalCro5, which is the same route (I think), but much more accurately drawn.

20 Apr 2022Once you dodge a few trams out of East Croydon and go through a less an desirable underpass the routes takes you along a rather splendid series of footpaths. Beddington Park offers the biggest treat of the walk before a short main road jaunt up to Wallington Station.

22 Dec 2021 (edited 20 Apr 2022)Pleasant route through Beddington Park and following the Wandle Trail. Last 2 kilometres on pavements alongside fairly busy roads. Majority of route is lit at night. Toilets at Waddon Ponds. Food outlets and supermarkets in Church Street, Croydon.
Use this route from Wallington Green as continuation from Sutton to Croydon (SutWal three).
