Finchley & Hornsey is a friendly group, open to everyone. We walk mainly in Herts and surrounding counties.

Using Colin Saunders Guide to the Capital Ring this walk is mix of open park/country walking interspersed with road walking on firm pavements. In parts it’s hard to believe that you are in London. This section contains, lakes, rivers, a windmill, red deer and fallow deer, Twickers, remains of royal palaces and lots more.
The entire walk is eleven miles but there are numerous drop of points along the way if you don’t want to do the whole walk. Many of the toilets listed in the guide are in fact, now closed but there are still some toilets and cafes along the route.
Some hills to climb and descend. Busy roads to cross from time to time. Being July it should be firm underfoot but can be muddy in parts if there has been sustained rainfall.
As always a packed lunch is recommended but you could buy food and drinks en route.
Meet outside the station at 11am. Wimbledon Park is on the District Line
Boston Manor Station is on the Piccadilly Line
