Saturday Walk: Horsenden Hill, Perivale Wood bluebells.

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.

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/
