Woodcote Lane

Woodcote Lane runs from Foxley Lane to Upper Woodcote Village, and has a wide carriageway which is bordered by grass verges, hedges and tress so old that their branches interwine high above the road.

Plantation

  • Grass verges and live hedges to give the appearance of a country lane.
  • Beech, Birch, Maple, Acacia, Lime, Horse Chestnut, Cedar
  • Holly, Yew, Laburnum, Rowan
  • Wellingtonia
The road has a feel of spaciousness and the tall old tress lend it a certain grandeur. The road has gentle curves and is bordered by substantial houses set in some of the largest gardens of the estate.
The road has been home to schools since the estate was established. Most recently, Cumnor House, a long established private school in Croydon, has established its girls' school in an existing school building and grounds, located close to the junction with Rose Walk and Promenade De Verdun. At the other end of the lane, Treetops Nursery is to be found
