About this walk

The longer Kenwood circuit is the Heath at its most varied, combining open hilltop with dense ancient woodland, ornamental lakeside paths and the sweeping lawns of the Kenwood estate. Dogs are off lead across the majority of the route but must be on lead near the ponds and within the formal garden areas of Kenwood. The Brew House Cafe at Kenwood House welcomes dogs in the grounds.
