We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Coulsdon’s Slow Ways.

This is a lovely countryside walk - I went from Coulsdon to Netherene....

It goes through the residential roads between Purley and Coulsdon and does involve some uphill. It is all via paths or sidewalks so quite firm underfoot. There is are a couple of footpaths that you need to keep an eye out for but otherwise it is fairly straightforward to follow on the map....

There was at least one stile at the west exit from the golf course, and I can't remember the other golf course exit I don't think there were any other gates or stiles. There were very few players on the golf course, but a dozen or so dogs and their humans enjoying the grounds, not just the path at all, despite the usual fierce signs. Maybe it's just a pre-dusk thing because the course is quiet....

I had lived in Coulsdon for years before finding out about the path at the Mount that takes you into Sutton. On a clear day I recall there being impressive views of the city. The path is the only link into the rest of the LB of Sutton, without having to leave the borough!...

Right out of Caterham this route goes up a steep hill, along a fairly busy road....

Walk this routeFor the remainder into Banstead the route crosses every farms, with some fields having a few horses. Lovely route, but minus points for the very short section of dangerous road walking and horses....

Here it follows the Farthing Downs Tree Belt, instead of the top-of-the hill route that the LOOP follows into Coulsdon. After going past Coulsdon South station, the route then finishes as Coulsdon Town along an industrial estate....

Excellent route across Farthing Downs between Netherne and Coulsdon. After some unavoidable road walking at Coulsdon the route goes onto the Downs....

Walk this routeA good route across Farthing Downs and Happy Valley on easy paths. Can be a bit muddy in places but generally the paths are pretty wide....

Take care when leaving Woodmansterne via Rectory Lane (assuming Banstead to Coulsdon direction) as there is no proper pavement for part of the way as you near the footpath up to Prospect Common....
