**Join us on a walk visiting from Cockfosters to High Barnet**

“*To walk alone in London is the greatest rest.*” — [Virginia Woolf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Woolf)

**Walk - Cockfosters to High Barnet via Trent Park**
This walk links two Tube stations through some of North London’s loveliest green spaces. From **Cockfosters**, you head straight into **Trent Country Park**, with its mix of open meadows, woods, and lakes. The path continues through **Hadley Wood** and **Monken Hadley Common**, finishing in **High Barnet**.

It’s a gentle route with a mix of trails, woodland paths, and a few small hills.

**Trent Park**
Once a royal hunting ground, **Trent Park** is now a beautiful public estate filled with ancient trees, open grassland, and a stately mansion at its centre. The house played a secret role in WWII, used by British intelligence to eavesdrop on captured German officers. Today it’s a peaceful spot to wander, watch wildlife, and enjoy a taste of countryside right on the edge of London.
