Railway Fields - TCV

Fascinating sliver of wooded greenery on the otherwise densely built-up Green Lanes. Bits of track are still visible from when this was a railway siding. It's now home to tall trees and tangled undergrowth. Much expanded since I visited 5 or 6 years ago now with multiple paths, hidden swings, secret benches and glimpses of the New River. It's the sort of forgotten, overgrown place that you wish you'd had as garden when you were growing up.

Small but a nice green gem. Seems a very much unknown area of parkland, that in fact may be the charm. Reminds me of parkland walk a few miles away. Just a nice spot to get away from the bustle of green lanes.

Lovely hidden quiet gem in Green Lanes, perfect for a little wander to get away from it all.

You wouldn't think you're in a city. A beautiful oasis amongst the madness.

Such a hidden local gem! Fantastic for a walk with the dog, there's lots of green areas for the doggos to explore. The only unfortunate part about this park are its opening hours: only on weekdays and until the dawn! So you're lucky if you spot the open gate.

We have been going to green lanes for 20+ years and only found out about the nature reserve recently. It is an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of green lanes. Ideal for kids and the grown up.

A brilliant little nature reserve tucked in next to the railway tracks and the New River.

Most awesome nature reserve. Always something new to see in the meadow and along the paths.. Amazing diversity of trees. Full of birds. Neighbourhood gem. Has been especially beautiful this year.
