Horsenden Hill and Northala Fields

After making our way out of Ealing, we will cross the River Brent and Grand Union Canal before climbing Horsenden Hill, an ancient monument surrounded by 100 hectares of nature reserve. We then descend and cross some playing fields to pick up the canal towpath towards Northolt, where we will pause in Belvue Park outside St Mary's Church. The route then passes under the A40 to reach Northala Fields, featuring a cafe, ponds and a viewpoint on one of several man-made mounds. From there, we will continue along the canal to Southall, where the walk ends.

As usual, please bring a packed lunch, a drink and appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather.
