Overview

The walk starts through the Woodberry Wetlands (toilets), then takes The New river to Finsbury Park, then via the Parkland Walk to Queens and Highgate Woods, finally ascending to Alexandra Palace, from there we descend to Wood Green U/G station where the walk ends. Adjacent to the station is a Wetherspoon pub where the hungry hiker may take sustenance.
