Overview

Please join us for a moderate linear walk starting at Perivale Station (booking hall, toilets available). We cross the Grand Union canal and go onto the wooded Horsenden Hill there we visit Brabsden Green deserted village, removed in 1970s, the Gruffalo Trail and the summit with great views over West London. We stop near the Ballot Pub for picnic lunch and a drink. In the afternoon we will go through the Greenford Beaver enclosure. We will see their handy work, but unlikely to see beavers. Then along the canal and down the Brent ending at Hanwell Elizabeth line Station seeing the majestic Hanwell viaduct on the way. Various opt outs available.
