To search by colour type a colour followed by the word ‘flower’.
The Walk is rich in wild flowers, some of which are quite rare so please don’t pick them. In some cases they only grow in a single location. The flowers shown here are just a few of the 300 that have been recorded. Plants listed ‘WT’ can be found in our Wildlife Trail in Highgate where we carry out a regular survey. To view the flowers that you might see in the Trail, type ‘Wildlife Trail flower’ in the search box.
We hope to increase survey activity across other parts of the Parkland Walk soon. We welcome your observations and photographs to include in this catalogue and to contribute to our survey findings.
