Description
This route is almost identical to Hamwoo one, but addresses the issue of where to enter Hampstead Heath if coming from Wood Green. This route is much more accurately plotted and therefore much more follow-able

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

19 Jun 2023I walked this on a warm and slightly cloudy Monday afternoon, from Wood Green to Hampstead Heath. It hadn't rained a lot in the last few weeks.
The route almost immediately heads through Alexandra Park along Ally Pally (photo #2), but not before having crossed the rail ways at Alexandra Palace (photo #1). It was green with excellent paths (photo #3). After leaving the park through a tunnel underneath Muswell Hill (photo #4), the route then continues along Parkland Walk (photo #5), with great views of the City (photo #6). After crossing Muswell Hill Road, it then takes you through Highgate Wood (photo #7), with trees shading you from the Sun. Then there is a short section along the residential streets of Highgate (photo #8, #9). The last section is then through Hampstead Heath (photo #10, #11, #12, #13) and a tiny bit of residential streets towards the finish at Hampstead Heath station.
A very green walk, with lots of shade. Really nice urban(ish) route.

19 Feb 2023Really good route linking Wood Green and Hampstead Heath with as much off road as possible.

03 May 2022This is one of the best routes I've walked, honestly. It's direct, easy to follow, and safe, but it's also SO green - it's almost 100% in parks and open spaces, and some really incredible ones at that!
Alexandra Park is lovely, as is the Parkland Walk (with great views of the city), which takes you to the lovely Highgate Wood. Finally, of course Hampstead Heath is extremely lovely too (and with a little diversion you can get to the top of Parliament Hill for another great view of the city!).
I really can't say enough good things about this walk. It's a perfect route. Full marks.
