Dist:0.3km<br/>Hounslow Heath once covered 4,000 acres but is now only 200 acres. However, it still has a feeling of spaciousness and is a very easy place to get lost. No doubt this was one of the features which made it a favourite haunt of highwaymen.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is about two miles from the Heathrow runway, with a plane landing about once per minute. In a walk on the heath I met no other people for an hour, but it wasn't a quiet walk with planes landing all the time. Photo looking north.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Hounslow Heath once covered 4,000 acres but is now only 200 acres. However, it still has a feeling of spaciousness and is a very easy place to get lost, which I managed to do trying to follow the London LOOP across the Heath. No doubt this was one of the features which made it a favourite haunt of highwaymen. This photograph was taken on the LOOP before I became lost.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This looks like a groundwater monitoring point, either for quality, quantity or both.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Avondale Gardens are near the boundary of the London Borough of Hounslow. The houses in the top left corner are in Richmond upon Thames. For non-Londoners, Richmond upon Thames is to Hounslow as Oldham is to Manchester.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Taken looking north from the London Loop path. The heath used to be notorious as the haunt of highwaymen. Now most of it has been absorbed by Heathrow Airport, light industry and housing.

Dist:0.6km<br/>At the junction of Staines Road and Frampton Road. Not many cars on a weekday afternoon in winter, but it is the main car park for people walking on the heath so it gets busy. Pleasant layout with birch trees.

Dist:0.6km<br/>In a garden this would be a nasty weed, in Hounslow Heath nature reserve it is allowed to grow naturally.
