Riddlesdown
The chalk downs rise steeply on the northeast side of the Caterham valley, and this path takes a diagonal route upwards. The 407 is a regular bus service along the A22 Godstone Road. Note the bollards and island, the only concessions to pedestrians who wish to cross this very busy road. There is a campaign demanding a pedestrian crossing.

Kenley station
The first proposals for a railway along the Caterham Valley came in 1836 with the object of building a new London to Dover line through a mile long tunnel under the North Downs. It proved too costly and the existing line via Redhill was used. Instead Caterham received a branch line, built by Caterham Railway, a private company, and opened in 1856. The original purpose was to provide a convenient method of transporting the valuable building stone from the quarries at Godstone to London. Soon though the original purpose was overtaken by wealthy Victorian commuters using the line as the Caterham Valley developed. There were early frustrations for these commuters, for example, in the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway arranging for the connecting train at Godstone Road (now Purley) station to leave one minute before the Caterham train arrived. Kenley station opened at the same time as the line but called Coulsdon for four months until December 1856 when it was renamed Kenley. The high-gabled station house on the right dates from the opening of the line and is Grade II listed. It was sold to a private owner in 2007. The booking office is on the up side of the station. Here a train heads out of the station on its way to Purley.
