The Parkland Walk is the former track of the branch railway line which ran from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace and closed to passengers in 1954 and finally in 1971. The Parkland Walk officially opened in 1984. Holmsdale Road Tunnels are closed to the public but are occasionally used for television dramas, especially for murder mysteries. They are also popular with bats and rats. The Parkland Walk heads up to Archway Road at this point and the old track of the railway passes through Highgate Wood before it is rejoined at Muswell Hill Road and heads to Alexandra Palace.
