The Parkland Walk is the longest linear nature reserve in London at 4km in length, following a former railway line connecting two locations. It is a popular destination for visitors from overseas and locals alike.
Visitors can expect to see a variety of vegetation and wildlife, as well as enjoy art, photography, and videos inspired by the nature reserve. The walk is a great place for ramblers, walkers with dogs, runners, and cyclists to escape the urban environment and enjoy nature.
The website provides information about the vegetation, wildlife, railway history, and local services such as cafes and pubs along the walk. It also offers updates on ongoing projects and events related to the nature reserve.
The Parkland Walk is managed by Haringey and Islington Councils, with support from a friends group dedicated to protecting and supporting the nature reserve. The group maintains a conservation project and provides information and advice to visitors.
Some current concerns include potential developments that may urbanize the nature reserve, widen paths, and impact the ecology. The friends group aims to keep the walk a safe and natural open space for walkers, prioritizing nature conservation over recreational use.
