A gentle stroll around this glorious ancient wood. Can be muddy in places so wellies are advised after a rainy spell. Some slopes and overgrown areas but not too difficult.
Coldfall Wood is an ancient wood in Muswell Hill, North London. It covers an area of approximately 14 hectares and is presently surrounded by the East Finchley public allotments, the St. Pancras and Islington Cemetery, and the residential roads Barrenger Road and Creighton Avenue. It is the site of the discoveries which first led to the recognition that glaciation had once reached the south of England.
The Haringey district of London contains no less than five distinct ancient woods. These are Coldfall Wood, Queen's Wood, Highgate Wood, North Wood and Bluebell Wood. Until the early 20th century Coldfall Wood covered more than twice its current extent, reaching south to the properties bordering Fortis Green. The southern section was felled and partially excavated for gravel, before being used for residential development and the sites of Tollington and William Grimshaw schools (later Fortismere School). Tollington first rented and felled part of the wood for a sports field in the 1920s and subsequently moved to a new building on the site. William Grimshaw was built later to the north. Hornsey Council purchased Coldfall Wood in 1930 and the remaining section is now owned and managed by the London Borough of Haringey with help from "The friends of Coldfall Wood".
