Copthall Fields

Copthall playing fields is quite a large & flat area to start walking if out of practice. Although more aimed at sports there is still some other walks that can be incorporated to make a nice loop that includes Ashley Lane, the old railway track that has been turned into a walk from Mill Hill East to Page street & sunny Hill park is only about a 75 yards away from the A1 Great North Road road end of this complex.
What is now just called the Copthall playing fields used to be called the Arch fields years ago, but this name seems to just relate to the very nicely kept allotments at the Hendon side of this area.
With this area being sport related there is an area with an old building that used to be the school changing rooms & either side of this are 2 sports fields with a circumference of about 1 mile. Next to the foot path of this walk are several stops for exercises that now make a nice place to stop for rests if needed.
You also have the Copthall swimming complex & the Metro Play Golf Centre 9 hole par 3 golf course & driving rage that used to be the Archfeilds main area. (I here the foods quite good here & very reasonable in the off peak hours)
But for more on the walks for this area, please pop over to the main site for a list.
