Overview

We all have busy lives and some of us cannot afford to spend all day out Rambling so I am aiming to do Afternoon Rambles during the spring , summer and autumn so you have the morning free. There will be no lunch break but if I find an open public toilet - I will stop.

 

A varied section of the Capital Ring Walk following green corridors through north-west London. From Hendon Central Station the route soon reaches the open waters of the Welsh Harp Reservoir (Brent Reservoir), an important nature reserve with good views across the lake. The walk continues through parkland into the attractive green spaces of  Harrow and Horsenden Hill  through meadows and recreation grounds. Mostly level walking on park paths and footpaths with several opportunities to shorten the walk using nearby stations.
