This leafy English landscape with its common, village green, ponds and idyllic rural walks was in earlier times the hunting grounds of royalty. Now it is home to famous and discerning residents who appreciate its perfect combination of country charm and proximity to central London. This is country living at its best without leaving town. As its name suggests, Totteridge lies on a ridge between the valleys of the Dollis Brook and Folly Brook with spectacular views over London. In past centuries the surrounding meadowlands provided rich grazing for local livestock and the hay to feed London’s horses. Many of these beautiful meadows are still in evidence today. Gentlemen farmers grew wealthy providing for London’s needs and used their profits to create several notable estates with elegant manors set in their own parklands. With the coming of the railway in 1872 graceful Victorian and Edwardian mansion houses were built around the old village.

Timing Up to 6 hours walking time (for longest option) + refreshment stops. Walk leader Martyn Waring Meeting up Meet at Totteridge and Whetstone underground station at 10 am. and travel This is the penultimate stop on the High Barnet Branch of the Northern Line (in Zone 4).

Return will be from Totteridge, High Barnet or Cockfosters (Piccadilly Line) depending on which option we (you) choose. All are covered by Freedom Pass or Oyster card. Route This walk explores areas of a large chunk of countryside (part of the greenbelt) that intrudes into London on the so-called Northern Heights - the hills above and behind the more famous ones of Hampstead and Highgate. From the station we head west, briefly along Dollis Brook (further out than the stretch covered by the pre-Christmas walk) then taking in Darland Lake (once part of a large estate) and Totteridge Common before stopping for lunch close to Mill Hill school. After lunch we continue on a roughly circular route, going north and then turning back east, eventually reaching the edge of Barnet, from where there’s a choice of returning to Totteridge and Whetstone (an easy to navigate 1 km along Dollis Brook) or continuing (on the London Loop) to Monken Hadley and (if you want to do the full 12 miles) via Hadley Common to Cockfosters.
