Overview

This walk takes us through beaver country, up hill and down again, bringing a glow to everyones cheeks. Hopefully we will have some great vistas from the tops. Starting in Greenford, we head to Horsenden Hill and then straight on to Harrow-on-the-Hill before reaching Northwick Park.

If it is open there will be a short diversion to St Mary's Church.  It is lovely inside and the grounds offer some great views.

There are some good paths on this walk.  Once we get to Horsenden Hill, the route can become muddy, particularly where the cattle congregate.  A walking pole might be useful on these slopes in particular.

There are two hills to go up and down.

We cross a couple of busy roads
