HAMPSTEAD HEATH, London
Hampstead Heath is a 791 acre park four
miles from the centre of London. The Heath is made up of the
grounds of several houses that formerly occupied the area.
Parliament Hill offers fantastic views of
London and the surrounding countryside. Parliament Hill takes
its name from one of two origins. Some believe that Guy Fawkes
and his fellow conspirators stood upon the hill looking towards
parliament waiting for it to explode. A more likely explanation
is that Parliament Hill was a point of defence during the
English Civil War for troops loyal to parliament. Open-air
concerts are held on Parliament Hill during summer months.
It is also believed that Boudiccia was buried nearby.
Golders Hill Park is home to an animal sanctuary
where visitors can get close to deer and native birds. There
are children’s events and live concerts held here during
summer.
To the North of Hampstead Heath is Kenwood
House- a neo-classical mansion built in the early seventeenth
century. The house is now owned by English Heritage and houses
one of the most valuable and rare collections of paintings
owned by the nation.
Hampstead Heath boasts a racecourse, adventure
playground and is home to a flock of Flamingos. The Heath
is extremely popular with Londoners- its magnificent views
draw cyclists, sunbathers and bowlers. Hampstead Heath is
a hive of activity during the summer due to live music events
and entertainers catering for every conceivable taste.
