Need a bit of fresh air in London? Then head for the Parkland Walk, a wonderful stretch of woodland that runs along a disused railway line from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace. In among the trees and bushes, you will spot lots of birds, butterflies and maybe even a fox or a hedgehog. There are several species of wild flower, and many places to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat, making it a perfect family walk in the big city.

The Parkland Walk is one of my favourite walks in my neighbourhood.

Really enjoyed doing this walk on a wet n windy February day. We turned off the track for a bite to eat in the Railway Tavern in Crouch End. Queens Wood is really lovely - we spotted long-tailed tits but searched in vain for nuthatches. Then the heavens really opened so we didn't quite make it to Alexandra Palace (we caught a W7 in Muswell Hill to Muswell Hill Broadway for a pint) but it was lovely to find such a countrified peaceful walk in a bustling part of London.
