Capital Ring – Section 12: Highgate to Stoke Newington (along the Parkland Walk)

Capital Ring – Section 12: Highgate to Stoke Newington (along the Parkland Walk)

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…

Capital Ring – Section 9: Greenford to South Kenton

Capital Ring – Section 9: Greenford to South Kenton

We walked this section of the Capital ring on the same day as the previous section, but I liked this half of the walk quite a lot more. The part around Greenford is not particularly picturesque.

For me, that makes this walk more pleasant as you can see…

Capital Ring – Section 8: Osterley Lock to Greenford

Capital Ring – Section 8: Osterley Lock to Greenford

This is another really pleasant section of the Capital Ring walk that loops around London. This part is just under 9km long, from Osterley Lock (near Boston Manor station) to Greenford. This part is not very difficult, although it can get a little muddy in a few places. Most of this walk follows the meandering path along the banks of the River Brent, so this is one section where I don’t think it is possible to get lost. Osterley Lock…

Capital Ring – Section 7: Richmond Bridge to Osterley Lock

Capital Ring – Section 7: Richmond Bridge to Osterley Lock

This part of the Capital Ring meanders from Richmond Bridge to Osterley Lock, mostly along the Thames and the Union Canal. I loved this section of the capital ring, mostly because so much of it was completely new to me! It is a really nice area to wander around that I didn’t know anything about! We walked along here on a miserable grey day, and it was still lovely, so it must be GORGEOUS when the weather is more pleasant. TFL…
