The Dollis Valley Green Walk is a walk suitable for a wide range of people, from young families to runners. Most of the route is moderately flat and with hard surface suitable for wheelchair users.

Sections of the walk are suitable for cycling and are clearly identified by appropriate

signage.

Some sections of the path may be muddy, or icy depending on weather conditions.

The Green walk is about 10 miles long and can take up to 6 hours to walk.

It links areas of public open space along the Dollis Valley in a green chain, to provide

a pleasant and quiet long distant walk between the Green Belt and Hampstead

Heath, right through the heart of Barnet.

This leaflet describes the full route from Moat Mount to Hampstead Heath extension

and has been divided into northern and southern sections for ease of use.

The walk was developed and implemented by the London Borough of Barnet

in 1992, it now forms part of Walk London’s extensive network of walks

and provides a link in both the London LOOP and the Capital Ring.

Dollis Valley Greenwalk: North Section –Points of interestMoat Mount Local Nature Reserve (LNR since 1997)This area of the walk is part of the Moat Mount

and Scratchwood Country Park, owned and managed

by the London Borough of Barnet. Moat Mount was

originally the parkland adjoining Moat Mount House

and in 1923 the land was acquired by the old Hendon

Borough Council to be used as a public open space.

There are opportunities to walk and picnic through the

wood off of the initial Dollis Valley Trail.

The open space has a wide variety of fine specimen tree

species, some planted during the Victorian era.

Foxes, muntjac deer and squirrels are among the animal

species that can be observed in the area.

In 1997 Local Nature Reserve status was achieved for

both Moat Mount and Scratchwood.

The Reserve also houses a campsite which specialises

in school excursions and camping trips. The site is

a popular choice for many of the local schools as an

introduction to wildlife and outdoor activities.

Barnet Gate WoodThis small woodland is public open space, owned

and managed by Barnet Council. It is a remnant of the

extensive Middlesex Forest which covered most of this

area after the last Ice Age.

Take a rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of

this ancient woodland or walk through on the

woodland paths.

Totteridge FieldsThis site is managed by the London Wildlife Trust as a

nature reserve, in partnership with Barnet Council. It has

been designated as an area of metropolitan importance

for nature conservation.

Look out for the rich mix of unusual grasses

and wildflowers and associated insects in this traditional

lowland pastoral landscape which is becoming

increasing rare. The meadows attract thousands of

butterflies creating a colourful display throughout the

summer. The fields are managed under a countryside

stewardship and are mown annually as traditional hay

meadows to conserve the wildlife.

The old hedgerows include oak, hazel, ash, field maple

and wild service tree. They are remnants of the once

extensive oak/ hornbeam coppice woodland.

The Dollis BrookThe Brook forms an important ecological corridor

through Barnet, providing habitats for many plants

and creatures. Keep a good look-out for kingfishers

and herons which can be seen in the area!

The open spaces along the walk offer an abundance

of activities; allotments for gardeners, play facilities for

children, sports grounds and somewhere unexpectedly

quiet and pleasant to walk and picnic.

Rising near Arkley, the Dollis Brook meanders gently

southwards. It is eventually joined by the Mutton Brook

to form the River Brent, which flows south and west

before it meets the Thames at Brentford.

The name Dollis is thought to be derived from the British

dylif (a flood) or the Anglo-Saxon dwllice (erratic).

The Northern LineOriginally built by the Great Northern Railway, the line

from Barnet to Finchley Central opened in April 1872.

The atmosphere of a country branch line still lingers

to the north of the art deco station at East Finchley.

Railways reached out from London to the surrounding

country areas and acted as a spur for developers

to build.

Green Belt policies prevented further expansion. It is

perhaps fitting that these lines, which contributed so

much to urbanisation, can now be used by people

to travel to the countryside on their doorstep.

1 Moat Mount to 2 Barnet Playing Fields 4½ miles

1. From Moat Mount car park, follow the tarmac path

operation of local farmers, and keep dogs on

a lead.

Dollis Valley Greenwalk: South Section – Points of interestThe Dollis BrookThe Brook forms an important ecological corridor

through Barnet, providing habitats for many plants

and creatures. Keep a good look-out for kingfishers

and herons which can be seen in the area!

The open spaces along the walk offer an abundance

of activities; allotments for gardeners, play facilities for

children, sports grounds and somewhere unexpectedly

Rising near Arkley, the Dollis Brook meanders gently

southwards. It is eventually joined by the Mutton Brook

to form the River Brent, which flows south and west

before it meets the Thames at Brentford.

The name Dollis is thought to be derived from the British

dylif (a flood) or the Anglo-Saxon dwllice (erratic).

Mill Hill ViaductThis striking high-arched brick structure soars high

above the Dollis Brook. It was built in the early 1860s for

the Great Northern Railway branch to Edgware and has

a total of 13 arches. It now carries tube trains on the

Northern line to Mill Hill East Station.

Hampstead Garden SuburbHampstead Garden Suburb was founded in 1907

by Dame Henrietta Barnett and was planned by

Sir Raymond Unwin, with contributions from many

leading architects of the day. Sir Edwyn Lutyens

was responsible for the building around Central

Square, including St Judes Church, the Free Church

and The Institute.

There are good examples of domestic architecture

from the period, ranging from maisonettes and small

artisans houses to the large houses bordering the

Heath. There are many open spaces, plenty of

pedestrian walkways, including ‘twittens’ (hedge-lined

narrow footpaths) and lots of mature trees.

Hampstead Garden suburb also contains Big Wood

and Little Wood. Once part of a single larger wood, they

had become separate entities by the early 1800s. Big

Wood is the more natural of the two, dominated by oak

and with a fairly rich understorey including wild service

trees. Little Wood is also predominantly oak and has

a small open air theatre, used in the past by pageants

and still the venue for a play presented every year

around midsummer by the local dramatic society.

Hampstead HeathOnce a classic heathland habitat, containing plants

such as heather and gorse, the heath has been

subjected to great changes by human activities over

the years. In 1629, Thomas Johnson produced a

book, Iter Plantarum, recording the plants found on the

Hampstead Heath. It is the earliest known record of the

flora of a particular part of Britain. Many plants recorded

then have since become extinct as their habitat

has diminished.

The heath was threatened by development in the early

and mid 19th century. In 1871 an Act of Parliament

brought it into public ownership, one of the first areas of

open spaces purchased for use by everyone. Why not

spend time exploring? Parliament Hill offers a panoramic

and breathtaking view of London. Today Hampstead

Heath remains a popular and unique place, maintained

by the Corporation of Londons’ Open spaces

department. Contact details in the address section of

this leaflet.
