Walk details:
- A very green section, with little roadwalking.
- After crossing Sandy Lodge Golf Course, the route snakes through woodlands separating South Oxhey from Northwood and Pinner.
- It then crosses farmland around the little community of Pinnerwood, where you walk between charming cottages with well-kept ponds and lawns.
- Most of the section is in Hertfordshire, but comes back into Greater London towards the end.
- For a while the route is shared with the Pinner-Grimsdyke Circular Walk (also the South Oxhey Circular Walk, not covered in this book being completely outside Greater London).
