Northala Fields

As you head west out of town on the A40, through the flat conurbation, you see some great green hillocks beside the road. They were formed from the rubble that once was the old Wembley Stadium (1924-2000) and from (I read somewhere else) the soil dug out in the construction of Westfield Shopping Centre, of which the less said the better.

Walking round the hill to the top, you suddenly hear the noise of the road; walk on, it gets quiet again.

 On the other side of the hillocks is Northala Fields, opened in 2007, with walks and ponds and bits of art - a maze, carved logs, that sort of thing.
