The Dollis Valley Greenwalk is about ten miles long and runs from Hampstead Heath to join the Dollis Brook near the North Circular Road and then follows the brook to beyond its source at Moat Mount. The Dollis Brook rises at Moat Mount near Arkley, firstly flowing eastwards through the open countryside of Totteridge Fields to Chipping Barnet and then through the suburbs of Barnet to Hendon. Its route can be traced by the thin strip of woodland along the riverbank and ribbon of open land on either side which provides a valuable green corridor. At Hendon the Dollis Brook meets the Mutton Brook and becomes the River Brent which then flows into the Welsh Harp Reservoir and subsequently the River Thames at Brentford. Whetstone Stray Open Space is between Totteridge Lane and Laurel View. This view of the Dollis Brook looks downstream.
