Ancient woodland walks tailored for your dog’s needs
If you’re seeking a peaceful, shaded spot for your dog’s daily exercise, Coldfall Wood offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. Situated between Muswell Hill and East Finchley, this 14-hectare ancient woodland provides a serene environment for dogs of all temperaments. (Woodland Trust)
A Glimpse into Coldfall Wood’s Rich History
Coldfall Wood is one of London’s ancient woodlands, with records indicating continuous woodland cover since at least 1600. Historically, it was part of the expansive Finchley Common. In the early 20th century, parts of the wood were cleared for development, but the remaining section was preserved and purchased by Hornsey Council in 1930. Today, it’s managed by the London Borough of Haringey with support from local conservation groups
The wood’s historical significance is further highlighted by the presence of ancient boundary banks and ditches, remnants from times when such features protected young trees from grazing animals. These features not only tell a story of past land use but also add to the wood’s unique character.
