Why it's Wildland
4.5On Harrow’s northern edge, this viewpoint is a useful starting point for a longer walk: the nearby Grimsdyke open space is a small, mainly wooded green space adjoining Harrow Weald Common. A published circular route links the viewpoint with Bentley Priory Nature Reserve and gives a broader outing than the viewpoint alone.
The viewpoint is a modest destination rather than a day out in itself. Its Wildland appeal lies in the chance to pair a London outlook with a walk through nearby woodland and on towards Bentley Priory; the available sources do not establish a specific panorama or natural feature at the pin.
