Lovely Ali Pally walk across North London in the evening sunshine with good people - recommend!...

Hannah

You can see Karl Marx tomb from the park - walk straight along the path ahead of you as you go through the gate - just past the barbecue bins you can peer into the cemetery and spot him!...

ChesterB

A reasonable route, not a lot of greenery on large parts, but a lot of fairly quiet backstreets. A couple of places on the way to stop for a break...

Mark Sow

Route was generally pleasant, taking in some parks, tree lined back streets and the path along the new river path - meant it's possible to find a fairly peaceful green space that has a feel of countryside. The path along the river was generally relaxing, although in parts I could see it get muddy in winter. The path along the river was only really suitable for walking due to many gates that would make it difficult for anything other than a pedestrian to get by....

Mark Sow

Very enjoyable , mainly on pavements with a long section through the park and a shorter section through some very beautiful and unexpected woods....

Lara

It is a pleasant route through parks and quiet residential roads that mostly avoids busy roads except for two short stretches, one to get past the railway at Harringay overground station, the other at the Wood Green end to get to the station. It goes through three green spaces, Highbury Fields, Gillespie Park and Finsbury Park....

Anne Williams

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). 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)....

Derick Rethans

Worth doing the route to go through Harringay Passage, getting into Gillespie Park (almost feels like a secret garden) and into Highbury Fields for the finish....

Nurjehan Khan

From Finsbury Park the route goes along the road, where we felt it might have been more pleasant to head through Gillespie Park - though it does go through the southernmost part of the park before leaving the park and heading up the second big hill of the route: Highbury Hill....

From Finsbury Park the route goes along the road, where we felt it might have been more pleasant to head through Gillespie Park - though it does go through the southernmost part of the park before leaving the park and heading up the second big hill of the route: Highbury Hill....

Sarah

A thoroughly delightful route through woodlands and beautiful (unaffordable) homes. Great for an autumnal and spring run....

Nurjehan Khan

Mostly along the New River Path but it's not possible to walk along the New River the whole way and it's not always clear where the path goes when it has to divert - so a map is essential....

Sarah

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

Sarah

From Enfield Town, this route first crosses Enfield Town Park (I didn't walk straight across it, too muddy), before it then follows the New River Path for most of its length....

Derick Rethans

There are a few minor points that might marginally improve the route: turning at Bounds Green Tube to head down Brownlow Road and crossing the North Circular at the lights rather than using the footbridge could be an option that would avoid some of the awkward streets north of Bounds Green while the short leg into Oak Hill Park feels a little unnecessary....

Andrew Sheldon

While I would definitely walk the route again, I would personally leave the New River Path at Bounds Green Road and head directly for Wood Green Tube as it feels counter-intuitive to loop through Avenue Gardens and Wood Green column, even though the road route is only slightly shorter....

Andrew Sheldon

Hilly in parts, defo worth stopping off at Alexandra Palace to enjoy the views of the city!...

Saira

Camwoo is a beautiful London Slow Way passing beside Alexandra Palace, Highgate Cemetery and right through Highgate Woods.There are refreshments en route at the beautiful Waterlow Park too. It includes quite a lot of hills but also some beautiful forest and London views. A must walk....

Slow Ways Darren

I was surprised how soon the path went into green spaces, so close to Wood Green. It quickly joins up with the New River Path, which it follows to Enfield. Mostly the riverside path is good and well used....

Jane Taylor

Wood Green is a typically vibrant and grimy local urban centre with a few hidden gems (photo 1). Not long after Bounds Green Station the route takes you along quieter roads leading to the passage between terraces (photo 3) reminiscent of the Haringay Ladder on neighbouring #WooDal Two....

Jo Wood

A great urban SlowWay being direct, largely away from motor traffic, full of interesting urban detail and variety....

Jo Wood

After Finsbury Park station - instead of walking down Saint Thomas's Road you can (when there isn't an Arsenal match on) go up the steps just before the rail bridge and into Gillespie Park Nature Reserve which is a nice off road path. It can be followed down to Drayton Park road then making a left onto Martinau Road to rejoin the original route...

Tash Hunston

On parks, Belmont Recreation Ground has a dedicated picnic area, Downhills Park has an ornamental garden, and there's also the wetland with associated wildlife off Forest Road....

Tom

I walked from Walthamstow to Wood Green. It is hard to see how the green spaces could be incorporated without doubling the length of the route....

Strider

Go left or right off-route to find a gate into the park and re-join the route in the park. More road walking past Finsbury Park and Arsenal tube stations until Highbury Fields, a welcome green space with a cafe....

Strider

There is a kink around Railway Fields (only one entrance/exit) past Harringay Green Lanes Rail Station to the entrance of Finsbury Park by the New River....

Strider

Opening Hours: Finsbury Park is open all day and night, but Clissold Park and Butterfield Green close shortly after sunset, so a detour would be needed for nighttime walking....

Jane Taylor

From busy Dalston Station (shops & cafes) there is a busy urban road, turn right past a church to Butterfield Green a lovely park, then a play space and another small park before another road, a quiet one this time. Exiting the park another wide quiet road leads to Finsbury Park a large open park with lots of sports facilities....

Strider

It's a perfectly good route, accessible and safe....

mtormey

I like this route quite a bit, but unfortunately I can't verify it as it's not accurate, as other reviewers have noted! I'll upload an alternative now....

mtormey

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!...

mtormey

I walked from Camden to Wood Green. Second generally downhill through woods and parks to Wood Green. Across a bridge to Alexandra Park Station and through a park to approach Wood Green station along quiet streets....

Strider

Mostly a nice route, especially the Ally Pally Park, but definitely not walkable through St Pancras and Islington Cemetery. Just like another reviewer, rerouting through Creighton Avenue is desirable, and I've uploaded Finwoo 2 for that....

Derick Rethans

It's mostly urban pavement walking, with some lovely sections through muddy Coldwall Wood, and along a windy section through Alexandra Park....

Derick Rethans

I would suspect that when Arsenal has a home game, sections of this would be ridiculously busy though, so maybe best avoided then. Highbury Fields was another highlight....

Derick Rethans

It's entirely on smooth pavements and almost entirely along roads but the scenery is quite varied and diverse and I really enjoyed the route overall!...

mtormey

After the busy High Street (coffee, snacks!) you are quickly into a small park then up to Alexandra Park Station and across a bridge leading to Alexandra Park with views of London and the Palace. Through an avenue of trees, past a café in The Grove to passageways and into a Parkland walk with more views of London....

Strider

After some busy roads leading form Wood Green Station to Alexandra Palace Station you cross a bridge over the railway to Alexandra Park....

Strider

Then more suburban streets and along the unpleasant A109 past Bounds Green station, there are some nice cut-throughs (more steps) before a high street to Wood Green Station....

Strider

Apart from the A406 the streets are generally wide and quiet with green spots but no parks. There is a narrow uneven part but okay for wheels, generally downhill going South....

Strider

Pretty quickly, the route does a great job of getting you off main roads and into quiet residential neighbourhoods....

mtormey

It's not got more stars because when we arrived Highgate Cemetery was closed and so the route was not 100% usable....

danravenellison

An excellent route with accessible nature and adventure....

jbax

Coldfall is pretty, but if the route needs to go through Craighton Avenue, it might be more efficient to leave the wood to the side and instead turn south towards Twyford Avenue, Queen's Avenue and Duke's Avenue....

Rafael Goriwoda

A couple of deviations from main roads could be changed to avoid using poorly maintained back streets/paths (use Elm Park Road instead of Sherbrook Gardens in Winchmore Hill; also use Melville Gardens after crossing A406 instead of separate pathway). The path alongside the New River in Winchmore Hill also needs to be followed all the way down to the gate onto Highfield Road (see photo)....

rjwhitaker

Beautiful walk....

diamondgiza

I believe the problem is that the route crosses the Islington & St Pancras Cemetery therefore there are restrictions to access....

Tom

Not suitable for walking at dusk/night due to some remote and uneven paths with no lighting, especially on Hampstead Heath. Need to pay attention to take the correct paths on the Heath to enter and exit at the right place....

RhiEv

Therefore, it is not the most pleasant walk (the section on the main road) but the parks and residential bits are fine....

v199629

As it goes through Alexander Palace, Highgate Woods and Hampstead Heath you can also extend the walk as much as you like by following other paths....
