Overview
Walking Route

Join our monthly Community Walks, a Camden Council-funded project delivered in collaboration with Holly Lodge Community Centre and The Highgate Society.

These monthly local walks are designed to bring people together, encouraging connection, conversation and a chance to explore the local area. Alongside supporting wellbeing through light exercise and fresh air, the walks aim to help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation within our community.

Everyone is welcome and there is no need to book in advance, just come along and join us.
 

Walks take place monthly, with the next walk starting at Lauderdale House on Tuesday 23 June at 11am.

The next walk will be held on Tuesday 23 June from 11am - 12.30pm.

Starting at Lauderdale House in Waterlow Park, the walk will explore some of the history of the house and surrounding area, including points of interest within the park and stories connected to Highgate.

The route will also pass through part of Highgate Cemetery where participants will enjoy a short introduction to the cemetery and some of its history, before finishing back at Holly Lodge Community Centre, where there will be refreshments and time to chat afterwards.

You are welcome to join us on the entire walk, or you can join us for just the beginning of the walk in Waterlow Park.
