London - Enfield - The Green Needle - Palmers Green to Cat Hill [🌦️🌸🍁🌿🍄🐦🍎🍵🍺]
This charming little walk takes you through several parks and a nature reserve in our area of North London.
For those of you wondering, the emojis indicate Jamie's views on the characteristics of the walk (they're not just random!). The Mushroom indicates foraging opportunities, the bird is for good bird…

Our Rating: 6.5/10 (Very easy paths and signposting, only a few bench rest points, quite flat then a little bit hilly, much of the scenery was a bit same-y (no great views except for the Herstmonceux castle with its beautiful flower garden), saw a kingfisher, great pub stops especially the Bull's Head
