Edgwarebury Park

I am not sure what made me think of the the old highway men that used to use this area, but after a quick visit to my local dentist it feels like a there is a connection. Still! I am in the Edgeware area & feeling financially lighter. So i thought a walk around Edgwarebury park might make the feeling of being fleeced go away.
This is a park that i have never seen & didn’t realize even existed. (Must of driven past a 1000 times) So i parked up on a service road that runs along the A41 Watford way & made my way to one of the 2 entrances on this road. (There are 2 others in Edgwarebury Lane)
Wasn’t really expecting much from the park, but was very pleasantly surprised. The whole of the park area was very well looked after with some very nice kept rose gardens.
There is a surprisingly large open space of well kept grass going off to the left of the main central area where most of parks facility’s are.
Then looking up to the right from this same area is a very nice wild meadow, this leads up to a wooded area that has a circular path around the woods. You could quite easily have a pleasant hour or two walking the perimeter of about 1.2 miles. There are some slopes, but nothing to steep. Would suggest the 1st entrance in Edgwarebury lane for anyone needing flatter ground & very little in the way of slopes.
Good points.
Just about everything & thumbs up to the park keepers.
Bad points.
Local traffic noise A41, M1. But don’t let this put you off as many London area parks have this problem, & you can still hear the wildlife is quite happy.

They are also Geo/Tagged & linked with Google maps via the map link.
When you click on the map pin on the pop up map, you will also get the opportunity to view via MS/Live, Panoramio, Flickr. I find the MS/live link very good with very clear images.
