Overview

A leisurely but hilly walk from Alexandra Palace to Archway along a disused railway line now a nature reserve, through ancient woodland and passing by one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Some uphill stretches. The walk is mostly on paths but there may be some mud so boots are recommended.

We’ll stop to look around Alexandra Palace (views, small exhibition on broadcasting, toilets, cafe) and we may also stop for a tea/coffee break later in the walk.
