Outside Croydon: Walks

Patrick Ford, using the pen name Walker Dunelm, was Inside Croydon‘s original non-resident rambler, until his death in 2020.

He devised, and walked, a series of countryside ambles in and around the local area.

To help you plan your local rambles, we have collated below links to each of the walk articles.
