A sunday afternoon walk to Coldfall Woods

May 4, 2014 by Derek Chambers Leave a Comment

A sunday afternoon walk to Coldfall Woods Derek ChambersAs it was a nice sunny Sunday today I decided to do one of my favourite walks to Coldfall Woods.  I grew up in these woods as I used to live in Muswell Hill just around the corner

Coldfall is 14 hectare and mainly oak and hornbeam.  Since I was a child it has had a lot of work done to it.  For example down by the field it always flooded due to the build up of silt and the drain that used to be there disappearing.  Now they have made a feature of this with a wooden bridge going across it and signs up saying Mini Everglades

After a couple of laps of Coldfall woods, we went on to Muswell Hill Fields which attaches to the wood and the cemetery.  Muswell Hill fields is a big open field with several football pitches and a play area at one end.  If you walk along the playing fields you will come out into Trott Road

When you reach the bottom of Trott Road if you turn left and cross over the North Circ you will shortly come across an entrance into Coppets Wood (just past Tesco).  I have never looked it up but I suspect at one point this would have been part of the same woods.

Bluebell woods

February 22, 2014 by Derek Chambers Leave a Comment

When people think of Bounds Green/Wood Green area they don’t really think that is has some nice areas to walk the dog except perhaps for the Palace

well you are wrong …  I was out this afternoon with Poppy who lives in Bounds Green (not normally my area but this was a one off) and we went and visited Bluebell Woods

Bluebell Wood is reasonable small but very nice and can be located  at the top of Blake Road and Winton Road N11.  This little woods  backs onto the Muswell Hill Golf Course.

As I have said Bluebell is quite small but does have the advantage of only having one entrance as it is at the end  a cul-de-sac.  Whilst I would not take a big dog to Bluebell it is ideal if you have a small dog or a puppy that you are training with regards to re-call as it is ideal from a safety point of view.

The downside is that if it has been raining a lot or a wet winter like we have just had then it is very muddy.

Derek is a rare breed of dog walker and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He walks my two manic dogs 5 days a week... and has been an absolute god send. He assists in their training (their behaviour has actually improved thanks to Derek), he always puts their welfare first especially during the hot weather and really wants to know what makes them tick. I found it really hard to find a dog walker that would firstly walk my dogs without other dogs and understood their quirks and needs. Having used dog walkers in the past I wanted one that I could trust, that did exactly what they had said they have done - Derek is honest, reliable, caring, conscientious and a true dog lover, I trust him complelty with my dogs and I am so glad to have found him. My dogs really like him too!read more
