I’d like to introduce another section of the Capital Ring walk that goes all the way around London, through parks, playing fields and canals. The walk starts in Highgate, and winds its way over to the beautiful Abney Park Cemetery in stoke Newington. You’ll wander through London’s longest nature reserve on the Parkland Walk from Highgate to Finsbury Park. This was actually the first part of the Capital Ring that we walked. I didn’t want to write about them all in the wrong…

The third section of the North Downs way is my favourite walk so far! It Begins in Dorking with a steep climb up to Box Hill, before following the ridge all the way to Merstham. The best parts of the walk are at the top of the ridge. You do get to climb down and then up again, quite a few times. Anyway, all the climbing is worth it for the beautiful views. We began at Dorking station, so had…
