TQ2596 : LOOP, King George's Field
taken 11 years ago, near to Monken Hadley, Barnet, Great Britain

King George's Fields is a Local Nature Reserve. The twenty hectare site consists of a patchwork of fields, intersected by overgrown hedgerows, narrow strips of woodland and small streams. There are a number of magnificent old oaks, and breeding birds include sparrowhawk, willow warbler and chaffinch. There are also a number of common butterflies and the uncommon chimney sweeper moth.
It is one of many King George's Fields all over the country, established after the death of George V, who died in 1936.
The London Loop walk passes through the site.
Starting at the Thames at Erith and finishing on the opposite north bank at Coldharbour, the Loop (London Outer Orbital Path) is 150 miles long, passing through numerous woods, commons and parks and on waterside paths alongside the Grand Union Canal and London rivers such as the Colne, Crane, Cray, Darent and Ingrebourne.
