Millers Pond

Reviewed By TaNaBaN - Croydon, United Kingdom

Fancy taking the kids to feed the ducks? Here is a hidden gem for Croydon. This small local green space is dominated by a large duck pond with plenty of wildlife to entertain the little ones for and hour. Take you dog for short walk around the ponds perimeter path and have kick about on the small field. Set in a residential area iff busy main roads this small park would be great for a warm weather picnic. Dont forget your bird feed to enjoy this free entry park Enjoy.

Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve

Reviewed By AndytheBike - Croydon, United Kingdom

Access is also available from Courtwood Rise - it's a bit of a climb, though. Lovely woods, varied throughout the year, birdsong everywhere, lots of paths to explore.
