Cattlegate Road, Crews Hill

Crews Hill could be used as an example of an area described as 'urban fringe' with a mix of land use including some housing, market gardening activity and a golf course. There is a railway station on the Hertford Loop to the left of this view along Cattlegate Road.

Flypast over Forty Hall Park

I heard the noise and just managed to catch the F16 flypast as they returned to base following a fly by at the Tottenham Hotspur Football Stadium.

Enfield Greenway

St John The Baptist, Clay Hill

The church was built in 1858 and consecrated in 1865.

Enfield Greenway

Completed in 2021, this section of the Enfield Greenway is clearly designed to take London Loop walkers off The Ridgeway. But at the time of writing, local signage was still directing walkers along the main road, and the new path was not shown on Ordnance Survey maps. To the south of the path are four small ponds.

The Rose & Crown, Clay Hill

The building dates back to 1700 and was once owned by the grandparents of Dick Turpin.

Enfield Town New River and Trinity Church

The unappealing green surface to the new river suggests a solid surface one might walk upon. Perhaps to the church?

Whitewebbs Museum of Transport

The building which houses the Whitewebbs Museum of Transport is a former pumping station built in 1898. It is now run by the Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Trust and has a collection of cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles - see Link

. It is open to the public on Tuesdays and the last Sunday of each month.

Crews Hill Golf Course

Public footpaths crossing golf courses are not unusual and, however inconvenient the club may find them, the right of walkers to use them has to be respected. There are normally warning signs to watch out for flying golf balls and listen for shouts of 'fore'. This path is actually the beginning of the Hertfordshire Chain Walk which eventually leads to Ashwell & Morden station in the north of the county via a somewhat roundabout route. This stretch is in the London Borough of Enfield, however, part of the old county of Middlesex, and has never been in Hertfordshire.
