Friday 21st November 2025 at 2.00pm.

Come along for a fascinating 5-mile circular walk from St Mary-at-Finchley, weaving through parts of the Capital Ring and Dollis Valley paths.

Our friendly church guides will lead the way, sharing local history and stories of these ancient paths used for hundreds of years!

Highlights include:

  • The Tiny Forest at Mutton Brook (as featured by the BBC!)
  • Beautiful green spaces
  • A chance to meet the others in the community
  • Our BBC Antiques Roadshow sundial at the end of your walk
  • Drinks & nibbles from 4.30pm onwards back at church

Bring your friends, family and a sense of adventure. See you there!
