A walk exploring Horsenden Hill in West London, length: 5.3 km (3.3 mi), is followed by a visit to a secluded nature reserve. The reserve in question Perivale Wood opens to the public just two days a year to show off their bluebells.
The plan is:- do the SWC Horsenden Hill walk in the morning, stop for lunch or drinkies in the Ballot Box and visit the reserve in the afternoon, for which you need to book a slot (between 1 and 4 pm, cost £5.50). Numbers are limited so get booking. No dogs – sorry dogs. (The morning walk is, of course, free).
Lunch The Ballot Box, Horsenden Lane, UB6 7QL T: 020 8902 2825 (or picnic on the hill).
Tea .. and cakes.. on offer in the reserve.
Meet: outside Perivale tube 11:00. Central Line (West Ruislip branch). Zone 4.
Directions: here
Our short walk returns you to the station. The reserve's entrance is between 36 and 38 Sunley Gardens. To find, follow this map. t=Short.4

Just before you turn right across the canal you should see the entrance to Paradise Fields, the home of Ealing's Beavers. Worth a short detour. https://theealingbeaverproject.com/
