Overview

A brisk and quite hilly walk to take in the autumn colours of the trees on Hampstead Heath, Queens Wood, Highgate Wood and Kenwood and the heights of Parliament Hill and Alexandra Palace. Bring a packed lunch or pick something up at Highgate Wood Cafe where we will have our lunch break. The walk will be on pavements and paths and so expect some mud in places. We start at Belsize Park Northern Line Station and loop anticlockwise to finish at Hampstead, where anyone in need of refreshment will find something suitable.
