Descripción
Hampstead Heath is an ancient heath in London. This grassy public space sits astride a sandy ridge, one of the highest points in London. The heath is rambling and hilly, embracing ponds, recent and ancient woodlands. The south-east part of the heath is Parliament Hill, from which the view over London is protected by law. Running along its eastern perimeter is a chain of ponds.
Over 180 bird species have been recorded on the Heath. Summer visitors include Curruca Zarcera, Mosquitero Musical, Mosquitero Común, Golondrina Común, Vencejo Común, Papamoscas Gris and Curruca Capirotada. Autumn visitors are Tarabilla Norteña and Collalba Gris. Winter visitors include Zorzal Alirrojo, Zorzal Real, Jilguero Lúgano and Pardillo Norteño. Water birds include Martín Pescador Común, Lavandera Cascadeña, Porrón Moñudo, Somormujo Lavanco, Porrón Europeo and Pato Mandarín. Open heath birds include Jilguero Europeo, Cernícalo vulgar, Pardillo Común, Alondra Común and Zorzal Charlo. Woodland birds include Camachuelo Común, Reyezuelo Sencillo, Trepador Azul, Cárabo Común and Pico Picapinos.
The best birding is done near the Highgate Ponds, the woodland to the west of Parliament Hill and the woodland alongside and east of Spaniards Road.

Accesso
Hampstead Heath is located four miles north of the centre of London. The main public transport options are the Northern Line and the Overground. The Northern Line will be easiest if you are coming from the centre of London, and the Overground will likely be the better option if you’re coming from the east or west. Journey times from the centre of London, say Kings Cross station, will be around 30-45 minutes. The nearest stations are marked with a star. There’s plenty of places to lock up a bike. Please don’t drive unless you really have to - parking is limited.
There are many paths to explore the area. The 7 km circular walk shown on the map is just a suggestion.
