Overview

A linear walk starting at Hounslow West and ending at Hayes.  This is a green chain walk, linking many open spaces including Hounslow Heath, woodlands, Cranford Park, rivers and the Grand Union Canal which run through West Londons urban and sometimes industrial landscape.

We mostly use good flat paths and boardwalks to avoid the worst the winter weather may cause.
