Parkland Walk, Linear nature reserve and rail trail in North London, United Kingdom.
Parkland Walk extends 4.5 miles through North London, following a former railway line connecting Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace.
The path traces the route of the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway, which operated passenger services until 1954 and freight traffic until 1964.
The green spriggan sculpture by Marilyn Collins emerges from beneath an arch, marking the intersection of nature and art along the trail.
Access points include Crouch Hill near Ella Road and Blythwood Road, with Finsbury Park station and W7 bus route providing public transportation options.
This nature reserve contains London's only area of acidic grassland, supporting rare plant species and insects within an urban environment.
