Hackney

'Abney Park in Stoke Newington, one of the "magnificent seven" garden cemeteries of London, is a woodland memorial park and Local Nature Reserve, managed by the Abney Park Trust. We offer free public access throughout the year so everyone can come and enjoy this oasis of peace and greenery with a fascinating history.'

'With its beautiful parks and open spaces, Hackney is a great place to walk ... '

'Short to medium walks, nearly always on footpaths away from busy roads – by rivers, canals, parks and woods.  There are usually places of interest to point out en route. The pace is also very gentle. There are always break–off points for persons who do not do the whole walk.'

'The Hackney Parks Forum have created a series of leaflets mapping walks through a number of Hackney's parks and open spaces. The leaflets include information about the parks, walking distances and helpful maps.'

'The Hackney Society works to preserve Hackney's unique heritage and make the area a better place in which to live and work. The Society was formed in 1967 to involve and support local people in the conservation and regeneration of Hackney's built environment and public spaces.'

'A series of six self-guided walks through Hackney's Parks and Open Spaces. The walks are along tarmac and grass paths, mainly flat and easy walking. The leaflets provide information about steps and alternative routes ... These leaflets were reprinted in 2010 under funding from NHS Hackney Community Chest.'

'Walk Hackney specialises in telling you the story of Hackney, through a series of scheduled walks around different parts of Hackney.'
