Littleheath Woods
About
Littleheath Woods is the collective name for Littleheath Wood, Foxearth Woods, part of Queenhill Shaw and part of Gee Wood in Selsdon in the London Borough of Croydon. It is a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I, with an area of 64 acres (26 ha). It is owned by Croydon Council and the Friends of Littleheath Woods assist with the management.
The woods were saved from housing development of the area in the late 1920’s thanks to the campaigning and fundraising efforts of The Selsdon Resident Association and in particular local conservation hero Malcolm Sharpe. The Woods opened to the public in 1932.
