We entice you to Explore the Urban Forest from Acton to Ealing.

Carlton Road Oak

This 45 minute guided virtual tour takes in highlights from one of the 12 routes featured in Paul’s new book, ‘London Tree Walks’. Paul will take us on a live, virtual walk using Google Streetview as well as his own images and talk about each of the trees he has selected.

This fascinating wander through leafy west London takes in several arboreal curiosities including the story of an elephant buried beneath an oak tree, and a huge Swamp Cypress marooned on an Acton street.

Urban Forest Explorations are produced by the Museum of Walking.
