Overview

This is a fairly flat walk and is surprisingly green.  We start off through the historical Northolt Village, then walk alongside the Grand Union Canal. Later on we take in Northala Fields, which is the location of the 4 hills seen alongside the A40.  We should enjoy great views from the viewpoint at the top.  This is an urban walk to remember!
