Round Shaw Downs

Stumbled across this calming open space on a grey, chilly, muddy day. So nice to find an enclosure of bullocks and to see lots of birds. We'll definitely go back in the spring and summer to see the seasonal changes.

Lovely area of countryside just outside Croydon. It has views over parts of Central London and the towers in Croydon
It also has an area with grazing cattle.

I always go cycling here, and in my opinion, it’s one of purley’s best kept secrets. I only discovered this place cycling and the view you get is incredible and insane. 100% would recommend to any dog walkers or cyclists. Such a beautiful tranquil place.

Nice patch of greenery in an otherwise urban Croydon area surrounded by industrial estates. Lots of areas for nature with a mix of meadows, shrubs and trees. Popular place with dog walkers. The collonades centre has free Parker for 3 hours and is situated across the road. Lots of history here during WW2 and some of the original runway and features can still be seen.

Round Shaw Downs local reserve is a nice and well maintained natural land. Our family enjoyed a day out here. The spring blooms add a welcoming touch to the scenery. The place looks clean however there were few littering and we stepped over dog poo. Shouldn't be left there.

There are ground besting birds in the reserve.

Lovely place to walk our dog,the woods are beautiful in all seasons

A really great, well-managed nature reserve, with plenty of plant and animal biodiversity. Really beautiful and peaceful. One of the best places in Croydon or Sutton for nature lovers.

Lovely place to walk your dog and some great views
