Walking The Wealdstone Brook

Walker
↔2.81 km ↗+0 m ↘-29 m ◔0h 50 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from London Borough of Harrow (Greater London)

The Wealdstone Brook is one of the lost rivers of Middlesex. It's a short urban walk, one of my 'lost landscapes' routes around the Harrow area. Ironically, there is no trace of the river left in Wealdstone itself, where it has all been culverted. However, it meanders very prettily through Woodcock Park in Kenton, surrounded by grassy banks and willow trees. This is the best bit! There are further glimpses of it along the route of this walk.

⚑Departure from London Borough of Harrow (Greater London)

This is a short urban walk exploring the 'lost landscapes of Middlesex'. I was recently introduced to a secret park which I never knew about, and realised this must be the summit of the original Sudbury Hill before it was swallowed up under the tide of suburban housing. The walk visits Elm Park and also takes you past the Harrow School sports fields. It starts and finishes near Harrow School, Harrow-on-the-Hill.

Walking Metro-Land, Chilterns

Walker

Do allow plenty of time for exploring the many interesting features on this walk.
