Coal Tax Circuit: Tattenham Corner to Biggin Hill

Length — 45km (walked 2018)

This is the hilliest part of the route: in terms of the physical geography, you are crossing the valleys which feed the Croydon Basin. The southernmost point is reached on this section, as you visit a few posts on the south side of the M25. Walkers are advised to avoid the first stage of this section on race days at Epsom Downs: paths will be closed, and there will be no chance of peaceful walking among the crowds.
