THE QUEEN'S HIGHWAY Sunday 13th October 2019 at 11-50am.

GREENACRE 
WALKS 

 The Queens Highway 

This is the first of our two Autumn walks - 'The Queens Highway' takes us through ancient woodland on the home turf of East Finchley, Highgate, Hornsey and Muswell Hill.

Meet outside East Finchley tube station, Sunday 13th October 2019 at 11-50am.

This time of the year is all about trees and leaves so little wonder we will be heading for the woods. Starting from East Finchley tube station we will head for Cherry Trees Woods and then onto Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood where we will make our lunch stop at Queen's Wood Cafe where delicious home-made vegetarian meals will be served.

After lunch we head for the highest point of Queen's Wood before we make the slow descent through the woods and then follow a little known woodland pathway to all the tennis

 courts and playing fields of Shepherd's Cot. We come out at Park Road and then head for Priory Park where we will make our tea stop.

After Tea we head for the lower slopes of Ally Pally and start a gentle climb up through Grove Park and onto the disused railway. We will leave thew railway at St James Lane and 

head for the bus stop near Muswell Hill Odeon.

This is a lovely walk for this time of year and there will be amazing views from a couple of points along the route. The pace will be leisurely but there are some hills along the way.

There is a drop out point at Park Road before the tea stop and also at Priory Road after tea.
