About Riddlesdown Common
A large area of chalk grassland and scrubland, a site of special scientific interest. Paths crisscross the slopes, with views over the valley toward Purley. Wildflowers in summer (especially orchids), and the walk up from the car park is a steady climb. It's open, exposed and can be windy, so dress appropriately.
💡 Enter from the car park on Riddlesdown Road. The best view is from the trig point at the top; the western edge has a bench overlooking the M23. No bins—take your rubbish home. Ideal for a brisk 40-minute loop walk.
