 A very different walk on Hampstead Heath. The walk takes us due north to see some heritage within the village and we emerge on West Heath and Whitestone Pond. We walk along what’s known as The Pergola and The Hill garden and eventually arrive at Golders Hill Park (part of the Heath). This takes us straight to the pub for lunch. In the afternoon we’ll marvel at the weird Sandy Heath and then cross over to East Heath (the largest part of the Heath), where we intend to stop at the well-known sights, including Kenwood House, the ponds and Parliament Hill, plus some that are less known by most. Drop-out and joining point for buses at the pub.
