South Approach, NORTHWOOD, HA6 2ET

The Moor Park Estate is around six square miles in size, with gated, private roads. It extends from Ruislip Woods through to Northwood, and finishes at Merchant Taylors' School. It was featured in John Betjeman's famed programme 'Metroland'. South Approach appears to be part of the Estate in that like the other roads Google Streetview has not been down here, but there are no gates on this part. In this view, the woodland on the right shields the houses from the Metropolitan line - a linking footpath for the London LOOP from Moor Park station passes through the woodland.

Sandy Lodge Golf Course was founded in 1910. It was formed by a frustrated London businessman who was tired of playing golf on muddy parks around London and realised that the sandy soil of Sandy Lodge Farm would be perfect for playing golf. During the Second World War it was turned over to grazing but was restored afterwards although some of the sandy areas were lost to tree and shrub growth. The London LOOP passes diagonally across the course from south-west to north-east although nearest to the former it is mostly rough grassland. This green on Sandy Lodge Golf Course is seen during the heatwave of 2018. While most of the course, like grassland everywhere at this time, was barren and brown the greens were lush and well-watered.

This public footpath runs between the golf course beyond the trees to the right and the Metropolitan Line railway to the left, the grey boundary fence of which can just be seen. The path goes between Westbury Road and Moor Park Underground station.
