- GREEN £5 WALK - HAMPSTEAD HEATH🌲🌿💧, SECRET PERGOLA, HIGHGATE WOODS🌳Golders Green station, London
GREEN £5 WALK.
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 and later, walk through Highgate Woods.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 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 to the Mossy Well pub in Muswell Hill.
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 STOP OUT POINT: Some nearby bus routes on the perimeter of Hampstead Heath.
