Public Bowling Greene
Trees just above Parliament Hill
This was the public toilet...seriously?
Alison walking in a little hidden grove we found
Loved these shutters
One Tree HOUSE, thankfully not One Tree HILL
I love how they name their houses
Walking up Holly Place
It's no wonder John Constable and Fort Maddox Brown used this area as a model for their work! It is amazing that such a perfect little refuge can be found so close to the city. If I were to live in the UK I think Hampstead would be the best location. It's definitely lucky for us and the general public that the heath hasn't been turned into housing developments. I couldn't help but thinking that the name 'Heathcliff' is fitting..I thought I was going to see him frolicking about at any moment. The wild, untamed beauty of the heath is much different from the groomed parks you see in the city. I really loved getting lost in nature on this walk. We had come straight from Camden Market and the contrast between the two was stark! I so much prefer the feeling at Hampstead.
