SCENIC £5 BANK HOLIDAY WALK: HAMPSTEAD HEATH, PERGOLA and HIGHGATE WOODS

ENJOY the UNDULATING HILLS and VALES, WOODLANDS LAKES and PONDS of HAMPSTEAD HEATH and HIGHGATE WOODS and visit the SPLENDID SECRET PERGOLA.

Visit the very impressive Golders Hill Park, with its forgotten zoo, and manicured gardens, before heading to the SECRET PERGOLA. All this is followed by more socialising in a pub with cheap food and drinks in a convivial atmosphere. A perfect way to spend a Saturday!

PERGOLA: Well hidden amongst the trees and constructed during the years 1904 to 1925. It is a magnificent Edwardian extravagance built as the setting for garden parties and summer evening strolls.

Overgrown with vines and flowers, Hampstead Pergola is pretty magical, in any season. However in spring, wisteria and other spring flowers curl around the trellises, making the Pergola a beautiful and popular backdrop for wedding photographs and fashion model shoots.

WALK START: Meeting at Golders Green Station (Northern Line - Edgware Branch - Zone 3). Look for Ken with Kens Events/Meetup Badge.

WALK FINISH: Finishing at the Mossy Well pub in Muswell Hill. which is a 15 minute walk or short bus ride to East Finchley Tube Station, Highgate Tube Station or Archway Tube Station (all on the Northern Line).

WALK ROUTE: Our walk is through Golders Hill Park and Zoo, before heading to the SPLENDID SECRET PERGOLA. Afterwards we head across Hampstead Heath and will pass by the beautifully and recently restored KENWOOD HOUSE with its glorious views across the heath before heading through Highgate Woods and 'Cherry Blossom Road' to the Mossy Well pub in Muswell Hill.

COST of EVENT:
All of the walks on this group are only £5 each to attend. Payment is not collected before the day of the event to allow you maximum flexibility. Why pay more on other groups for overpriced walks with no afterwalk socialising!!

FRESH AIR
Get out, explore and enjoy London's abundant green spaces and surprising surrounding countryside. Give up the city streets for a day and breathe some fresh air. Improve your overall fitness levels and make some new friends at the same time.

Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. We always end the walk at a pub where the socialising can continue.

Take this opportunity to visit green parts of London, unknown to most people, and that you would not otherwise have an opportunity to see.

RISKS:Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and be able to walk for four miles without a break. In these walks we use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, and tracks through woodland and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, trousers are recommended, and take care as surfaces may be uneven, and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists. Be wary of portruding tree roots and low overhanging branches. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.

No large dogs or small children please.
