In Ten : Hampstead Heath

 

I've often spoken about my love for Hampstead Heath....

it's my happy place.

You could walk it every day of the year & take a different route each time,

it's an enormous green space....

a true escape from the hustle & bustle of London.

Its cafes are usually busy but within minutes you can be walking along, 

totally alone & lost in your own thoughts.

Much loved by dog-walkers, runners, children and people of all ages. 

it's a beautiful place all year round. 

I took these photos earlier today and they are mostly around the Kenwood side of the Heath....

London is pretty cold right now but we were treated to a little sunshine which just about made my day....it's April, bring on the spring!!

Kenwood House is a stunning 18th century stately home which also houses a stunning art collection. It is now owned by English Heritage & has also featured as the backdrop to many films. 

You can approach Hampstead Heath from many different directions -

Hampstead Heath overground station, bus from Archway Underground, walk up from Hampstead Underground or several buses pass it.

The parks in central London are great for walking but I would recommend the Heath for some fabulous views of the city & also for a bracing walk any day.

"In Ten...." is my new series in which I will be exploring London & sharing it via Instagram....

one location, ten photos
