A very interesting free walk given by someone with over 30 years experience working in Highgate Wood.
A really enjoyable hour spent listening to her talking about the different types of trees in the wood, as well as the animals that live there (she took us past a tree where we could hear woodpecker chicks!). She also talked about the history of the wood, which you cannot separate from the wood as it is today.
I would highly recommend going on one of their walks (did I mention that they are free? Well, all except the bat walk which is after hours). I will certainly be keeping my eyes and ears open next time I walk through this amazing place, feeling more mindful of what is around me and remembering to look up!
