| What to see: |
Immediately south of Falloden Way are twin patches of woodland known as Big Wood and Little Wood.
They are two of the few surviving remnants of the ancient Woodland that covered North London.
As a relatively isolated patch of woodland, it attracts large numbers of birds now rarely seen in the rest of London, particularly owls and the Green Woodpecker.
