Overview

Much of this walk uses well trodden sections of the Hillingdon and Colne Valley Trails to reach Harefield for a picnic lunch.  Pub nearby. Less well known is the Old Park Wood nature reserve on the edge of Harefield. Kindly note that the paths in the nature reserve will be slippery so good footwear is essential. Walking poles might be useful. If in doubt, please contact the leader.

Bring a picnic. Optional car share from Barnet: Victor's Way Car Park, EN5 5TR, leaving 09:10 (21 miles)
