Event information

Not the better known Moselle in France, this all-day tour follows the course of North London's River Moselle from its mouth in Tottenham via Wood Green to the source in Highgate, taking in the history and delights of the area along the way. 75% of the Moselle remains culverted, so there is more water to see than on my other "lost" river walks.

This is a leisurely relaxing walk of just over 9 miles, starting out from a café (get there earlier for breakfast), stopping en route for two breaks in pubs. We end up at Highgate Station at around 5.30pm.

Highlights along the way include the remains of an old sewage works, dead pubs, the Carbuncle Ditch, the marshes where Tottenham Hotspur FC had their first home ground, stories of farmlands and the highs and lows of modern housing estates such as Broadwater Farm, and visible open sections of the Moselle in Tottenham (White Hart Lane) Cemetery and Lordship Lane Recreation Ground, although it is hardly the “sparkling Moselle” of days gone by.
