This walk passes through Thorndon Country Park. The site is woodland and ancient parkland. The country park is divided into Thorndon Park North, with access from The Avenue, and Thorndon Park South, with access from the A128 road.

 

How to get there

From Brentford, take the A128m heading south east. Follow this until a roundabout with a sign directing right to Thorndon Country Park North. Follow this road, The Avenue, until you reach the brown road sign directing you into the park and visitor centre.

 

Walk

1 Start from Thorndon Country Park North car park. Follow the green 'wildside way' waymarkers. Head towards Little Warley Common, then follow a stream south through the wood. When you are through the wood, the path enters into a meadow. Follow the edge of the woodland and pass by two ponds. Continue on Childerditch Street, and across fields to Jury Hill.

2 Heading east, pass by Pigeon Mount, which is a raised grassy platform. Here, head north, you will pass Rookery Wood before you reach Old Hall Pond. The walk continues on through the park.
