Overview

A moderate paced walk but with frequent short stops at points of interest.

There is a small amount of road walking, but mostly we will be crossing heathland and parkland taking in: Hampstead Heath, Hampstead Village, "The Pergola", Golders Hill Park,  Kenwood House and Waterlow Park. There are plenty of drop out points if you wish to shorten your walk.  There are hilly sections and some parts will be muddy.
