The circular walk will proceed from Southgate Tube into Grovelands Park and then on to Oakwood Park, stopping at the Oakwood Park Café, where light refreshments will be provided – or you can buy a more substantial lunch from its menu. We will then return to Southgate Station. or you are free to head onwards to a different destination.

The surfaces will be mostly pavement and path, and for a short time woodland and duckboards: no special walking equipment is required, other than comfortable shoes, but you are welcome to bring, e.g., Nordic walking poles or any other aids, as you wish. The terrain is mostly level or gentle ascents/descents. The pace will be relaxed.
The owners of the Oakwood Park Café will be able to inform walkers about the facilities they offer, e.g. free bike hire, for any future visits to the park.
