The Parkland Walk is a 4.5-mile nature reserve located in north London, once a railway line that transported passengers in the 1860s. Although it has waned in popularity, recent media recognition has shed light on its beauty. Conservation efforts are ongoing, with groups advocating for the preservation of its natural features amid municipal developments. Visitors enjoy walking and cycling through this tranquil setting, which provides a slice of nature away from city life, fostering community appreciation despite changes and challenges faced by the reserve.
"You can walk a long way and feel you are in the country. It's nice to be able to walk along it; there are no cars, and people are generally respectful."
"The conservation group battled unsuccessfully to save a hairy oak that Haringey Council felled in 2023 to repair the nearby Stanhope Bridge, protesting against the council cutting back woodland."
