Darland's Lake Nature Reserve

This place is amazing!!! Such a bounty of nature right on our doorstep 😍 this has now become one of mine and my son's favourite places to walk 💖🌠

Love walking there. You really feel like you’re in the country side. Beware very muddy right now so wellies or waterproof boots!

Lovely nature reserve. Great for a walk in nature, full of interesting little finds

The "Lake" or "duck pond" is more of a boggy puddle, wouldn't recommend taking a dingy out as me and my mates did. The HMS Dingus was 2 inches from touching the bed of the lake the whole time, nearly titanic-ed! and don't get me started on the smell. Wasn't a good experience overall. 5 stars!

Magical wild spot a short drive's distance from Finchley and Mill Hill. I particularly like the lake's western side, which looks like a rain forest.

Lovely stuff, a hidden gem 💎 (literally, it’s a bit of a challenge to find one of the entrances) but once your inside it’s a great patch...Yes, the lake isn’t in the best state (there’s a crowdfund for its restoration) but that doesn’t make this place less idyllic :-)

Just nature. Incredibly beautiful. 100% recommended to go with kids too.

Great place for a walk in the nature. Wellies are highly recommended most of the year.
