ReWalk Segment 15 – Silver Street to Woodside Park

Join our summer season of ReWalking on Segment 15 – Silver Street to Woodside Park.

Please SIGN UP here

We meet at 2.30pm (22 June 2024) outside the eixt of Siver Street Station (Overground), close to Pymmes Brook Park. This segment follows something of the Pymmes Brook Pathway (devised the intrepid rambler and walk designer Colin Saunders), to follow the pathway of a redesigned Segment 15.Tracing the Brook nearby the main roads we encounter some extraordinary bucolic scenes before reaching Arno’s Park. Here we will stop and marvel at the Arno Park viaduct and luxuriate in its cooling archways, strolling by the Brook. Then we leave the Pymmes Brook Trail at Waterfall road, to cascade toward Woodside Park. On the way we traverse Bethine Park and the unexpected wildness in Friary Park where we cross another ‘un/lost’ brook – Blacketts Brook.

“Pymmes Brook is one of North London’s longer rivers, though not especially well known. It flows mostly through Barnet and Enfield, for the most part above ground, then somewhere around Edmonton heads underground before emerging as a tamed brutalist channel. A ten mile waymarked route follows the brook downstream – the Pymmes Brook Trail – the first half quite pleasant and the second part rather less so.  online maps”
