Overview

A fairly moderate walk over pavements and grass/heath land.

We will begin our ascent from opposite Finchley Road station on pavements and across some minor roads prior to ascending to Parliament Hill viewpoint. We follow along grassland and gravel tracks to Kenwood House where there are toilets and a Cafe. Having taken advantage of the facilities we continue to Jack Straws castle where we again use pavements on our descent back to Finchley Road station.
