First-hand experiences
Was an. Enjoyable walk, note there is no car park it was dry when I was there but looks like it would be a mud fest after rain, village pub now a posh house
Pub no longer open.
Gorgeous view at the top. In late November a lot of mud! Best to go left at the start so you come down with the mud rather than up!! Wonderful!
Lovely walk through fields and woodland, climbing to the top of Muswell Hill and a magnificent view of surrounding countryside. Only downside: lots of mud if it has been wet!...
