Riddlesdown is an area of chalk grassland and scrub on the side of the Caterham Valley with fine views north towards Croydon. It is owned by the City of London as one of several commons they own in this area. The yellow flower en masse in the grass here is yellow rattle, so called because of its loose, rattling seeds when its fruit is ripe.
