Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The ancient woodland here is the largest in Greater London. It feels like a real forest, yet within the city. It is quiet and calm, even when the lido is busy on hot summer days. There is a cafe at the lido for refreshment before, during or after your hike.

Haste Hill Station (Ruislip Lido Railway)

Highlight • Rest Area

The middle stop on the narrow gauge railway which is popular with families visiting Ruislip Lido. Haste Hill Station is so rarely used it is a request stop only, meaning you have to ask the driver to make a special stop for you. The other stations on Ruislip Lido Railway are Willow Lawn and Woody's Bay and are far more visited being the site of the car park and the beach!

Le Camping de la Plage Café

Highlight • Cafe

A lake-side cafe set in an idyllic location surrounded by woodland. The ideal pit stop for home-made food and cakes that's open year round.

Ruislip Lido

Highlight • Rest Area

You can cycle round the Lido but it gets very busy at the weekend and in the summer is packed during holidays on sunny days. Beware of dog walkers with extending leads. It is great to cycle through Ruislip Woods to the Lido if you have a trail bike, but horses use the paths and churn it up after rain so it is almost impassable. The best time to go is very early in the morning in the summer, beautiful, especially if the mist is around.
