Caterham Valley - exploring The Square, Godstone Road and Station Avenue
In this Walk & Talk I visit Caterham Valley for a Part 2 following my earlier Croydon Road video (ua-cam.com/video/1qIcXkIvl5k/v-deo.html), this time taking a walk down each of the roads that make up and run off, the main town centre.

Caterham - Tillingdown Area Country Walk

From the centre of Caterham Valley to some beautiful countryside on a warm English summer's day. I ended up having to change my plan part way around (as you will see) but it didn't matter much in the end.

On the very busy A2022 at Kent Gate Way there is a Thames Water pumping station and behind it, the home of Croydon Rugby Football Club. In World War II this area was home to a Works Repair Depot, and a team of 120 personnel, responsible for carrying out essential repairs to maintain our effectiveness in the aerial battles over Britain, in particular the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. ...
Chelsham to Nore Hill - discovering an old quarry, anti-aircraft battery and Bronze Age Enclosure
Переглядів 4783 місяці тому
Three main elements to this walk, each with their own story. Great that these pieces of our history are all reachable within a walk of just over 4 miles. Note that you can do a shorter walk by cutting out the path down (and up!) which takes in Hovings Hole. That would shorten it by maybe 1.5 - 2 miles and be slightly easier on the legs - there is a gate by Worms Heath Cottages. Links referred t...

A loop walk of just over three miles to discover Titsey Airstrip which I did not know existed until I saw it on a map. A bright, sunny, breezy spring morning and a pleasure to vidsit this area just inside the M25 between J6 and Clacket Lane Services.
