Hike Description
Our walks are social walks, with an emphasis on meeting like-minded people, enjoying the outdoors, learning new skills and giving up the busy city streets of London to breathe in some fresh air. It’s an opportunity to enjoy London's secret green spaces, forest areas and surrounding countryside.

This diverse and stunning hike takes us from Northwood Station through Copse Wood, Mad Bess Woods, Bayhurst Wood then onto The Willow Tree Centre where we will enjoy a fireside chat before we head to West Ruislip Station where our event ends.
