This fantastic site is on the edge of Breakneck Hill in South Croydon which reaches an angle of 45 degrees at some points with views of SE Surrey. Surrounded by woods with some, but very few ancient trees. Archeological digs unearthed two round huts and a burial mound from the bronze age - now surrounded by a circle of trees. Croham Hurst is a site of natural and sientific interest. The ground and, most likely, the whole hill site is made up of tiny pebbles like a sea shore and is the first point (other than Crystal Palace) where the ground raises above sea level at the edge of the Thames Valley. Imagining or remembering a more watery, even Ice-Age London is not difficult when examining the geology of this site. From Croham Hurst moving East to Shirley one is struck with a phenomenal view of the whole of the Thames Valley when looking North. With a good pair of binoculars you can watch planes land at Heathrow, 25 odd miles away, looking west from the round barrow site. I have detected an energy / ley line on this site with a pendulum and rods but seek more experienced dowsers for conclusion. Croham Hurst is a secret gem. Visit is a must.
