🌳 Parkland Walk

The Parkland Walk is a 3.1-mile (5.0 km) linear green pedestrian and cycle route in north London, England; it is often mistakenly described as being 4.5 miles long. It follows the course of the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway that connected Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, via Stroud Green, Crouch End, Highgate and Muswell Hill. The route follows the bridges and cuttings of the line, but avoids the closed surface section of Highgate station and its adjoining tunnels, which are closed to walkers for safety reasons. The rail trail is almost all in Haringey, but a short stretch between Crouch Hill and Crouch End Hill is in Islington; this section incorporates Crouch Hill Park.
