This is Wildwood Road which for much of its length borders Hampstead Heath Extension. The Heath Extension was not added to Hampstead Heath until 1907, at about the time that Hampstead Garden Suburb to the north was being created. The Heath Extension was created out of farmland, largely due to the efforts of Henrietta Barnett who founded Hampstead Garden Suburb. Its farmland origins can still be seen in the form of old field boundaries, hedgerows and trees. There are a group of ponds near the eastern edge, close to Wildwood Road. These are beyond the trees to the right here.
