Railway Fields - TCV

Nature preserve

👍👍 Fascinating sliver of wooded greenery on the otherwise densely built-up Green Lanes. Bits of track are still visible from when this was a railway siding.

Kenley Common

Nature preserve

👍👍 I love being on the common with my dogs. I rarely join the march around the perimeter road preferring instead to follow the mown paths around the edges or dropping down on the well maintained paths along Whyteleafe Bank, in awe at the swathes of cowslips (right now) and all the other wild flowers em...

Warren Farm Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Currently a fantastic place for people to enjoy nature and exercise. It is one of London's few skylark breeding sites, but is likely to be destroyed by Ealing's Labour council to make way for sports pitches.

Long Wood, Ealing

Nature preserve

👍👍 Thousands of drivers heading eastbound on the M4 whizz past oblivious to this hidden ancient woodland just down the embankment on their left. Delightful when the bluebells come out in May. A shallow, stream runs picturesquely through the woodland, perfect for paddling in with wellies. Unfortunately...

Rose Walk Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

😐 There's not much to this place - it's a very short stroll around what is essentially a circular bushy walk. It straddles a bit of the Hogs Mill, but for most of the walk you can't get near to the bank to see it because of all the bushes, and the area where you can actually reach the river is at the...
