Overview

This hilly circular walk on Hampstead Heath includes woodland, meadows and ponds. From Parliament Hill we get stunning views of the City of London and surrounds. Next, we go though Highgate and then descend to the hidden gem of Waterlow Park with its two ponds. From here we continue to the wonderful Robert Adam’s Kenwood House where we have lunch (Café/Picnic). In the afternoon we meander through the diverse landscapes of Hampstead Heath including the Viaduct pond. Finally our walk winds through the charming quirky byways of Hampstead. The walk mainly follows the Hampstead Heath of Inner London Ramblers, but with a different start point. The walk showcasing the beauty and rich heritage of Hampstead Heath, Hampstead village and Highgate.

Please wear walking boots for this walk as a few paths are very muddy.
