Coombe Wood Croydon

Stroll through the woodland and ornamental gardens of Coombe Wood in Croydon.

Stop by the pond where ornamental fish glide lazily by and a small stream creates a tumbling waterfall. Next to the pond is a rock garden filled with alpine and other plants.

Throughout the year the gardens and woodlands are full of colour, from rhododendrons and azaleas in the spring to a striking display of roses in the summer and a carpet of heathers in the winter garden.

Try some locally-sourced food at the Coach House Cafe in the converted stable yard, where you will also find the stables that house horses used by the Parks Department Rangers.
