Health walks in Southall

Spikes Bridge Park, Canal and Willow Tree Park

A more challenging walk adding a canal towpath loop to the nature reserve and marina. Paths may be muddy after wet weather. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

Directions

  • From the park take the path past the play centre to the canal.
  • Turn right along the towpath, passing Cranleigh Woods on the right and Willow Tree Marina on the left.
  • At the bridge continue along the towpath.
  • After the factory, and just after you pass under a footbridge, leave the canal by steps on the right.
  • Turn right on Ruislip Road to the traffic lights.
  • Cross at the crossing and go down Broadmead Road. Turn left at wooden fences onto a path with houses on the right.
  • At a t-junction, turn left into Willow Tree Park.
  • At a crossroads take the path straight ahead, which curves round to a bridge across the canal. At the bottom turn left and return to Spikes Bridge Park along towpath.
