The River Pinn carries on to Pinner but is a few roads south of this point.

Philpot's Farm was a farm up until the 1970's. Now, with the name retained, it is run by Hillingdon Council as a nature reserve and park. The site is made up of mixed grass and woodland, with the River Pinn flowing southwards through it.

Philpot's Farm was a farm up until the 1970's. Now, with the name retained, it is run by Hillingdon Council as a nature reserve and park. The Pinn is a tributary of the Colne. From its source near Harrow, it follows a southerly course, through Pinner amongst other places before joining Fray's River, part of the Colne, at Yiewsley.

Philpot's Farm Open Space was once part of a working farm and passed to the London Borough of Hillingdon in the 1970s. It is a wet meadow and originally the site would have been marsh and damp meadow used for grazing sheep and cattle. The River Pinn runs along the eastern edge of the open space. The Pinn is one of the feeders of the River Colne. It is nearly twelve miles long and was formally known as the Ruislip Brook. It rises on Harrow Weald Common and eventually joins the Frays River at Yiewsley. The Frays River then joins the Colne to the south-west of Drayton Mill and eventually reaches the Thames at Staines. The Celandine route passes through Philpot's Farm Open Space. This is a 12 mile walk which follows the River Pinn from Pinner to the Grand Union Canal at Cowley - see https://archive.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/8718/Celandine-walks The houses ahead are on Heather Lane.
