Parkland Walk nature reserve

About your nature reserve

Parkland Walk is London's longest local nature reserve and supports a remarkable range of habitats and wildlife. Over 200 species of wildflower have been recorded. It’s perhaps the only place in Haringey where orchids rub shoulders with dandelions and ivy clambers up fig trees. 

Hedgehogs, foxes, butterflies and a vast array of birds are spotted on a daily basis. A rare species of deer, the muntjac, is spotted from time to time. 

There have been improvements to the surface over the years, but it's uneven in places. After rain, it can be muddy. 

Cyclists and runners use the route but pedestrians have priority.
