About The Route
🌈✨Although this is a densely populated area, surprisingly this walk is one of the greenest parts of the Capital Ring. It is easy walking on firm paths and pavements, with a steep climb including some steps at the start in Highgate.
After the Parkland Walk, the route passes through the beautiful Finsbury Park, along by the New River, past Stoke Newington Reservoirs, into the attractive Clissold Park and finishes at the fascinating Abney Park Cemetery. 🌈✨
