Parkland Walk Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Parkland Walk follows the course of the old railway that ran between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace. The four and a half miles provides tranquillity and a chance for those living in London, to enjoy the green environment in the very heart of the city.

It is London's longest Local Nature Reserve and supports a remarkable range of habitats and wildlife. Over two hundred species of wild flower have been recorded and it is probably the only place in Haringey where orchids rub shoulders with dandelions and ivy clambers up fig trees.

Steps leading off Parkland Walk
Hedgehogs, foxes, butterflies and a vast array of birds are spotted on a daily basis and a rare species of deer, the muntjac, is spotted from time to time.

Crouch Hill Mini Ramp (Parkland Walk)

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a simple metal mini ramp nestled in the trees on the Parkland Walk, between Highgate and Finsbury Park. The ramp can be accessed from Crouch Hill Community Park via some steps down the embankment. The ramp seems in pretty good condition, although you might have to clean off the seeds and leaves occasionally. Also worth noting that the Parkland Walk can be quite busy on nice day.

Stapleton Hall Road Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Since you are on the same level with the rooftops, opens a nice view. Especially recommended for morning or evening sunshine.
