Parkland Walk - wildlife trail

Just noticed that the new wildlife trail just before the tunnel has finally opened to the public: https://parkland-walk.org.uk/nature-trail

Any idea though if its open today (Bank Holiday Monday)?

That web link? Top of the first page?
“Wildlife Trail is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays between 9.00am and 6.00pm.”

Loads of people there on Saturday.

What tunnel?

It's right at the end, before the fenced off tunnels and exit to Highgate.

In answer to my question and for future reference, it isn't open on Bank Holidays (or at least wasn't yesterday) having investigated in the afternoon. Does look v nice though - they've done a great job on habitat creation - new pond and wildflower meadow, and its created a nice spot to stop off at along the Walk.

The nature trail at Gillespie Park Ecology Centre has the best ponds locally. It's fabulous and is Islington's biggest nature reserve. A lot of locals I've mentioned it to have never heard of it or visited.

So what's up there? Is it worth a visit? Might pop up on sunday

I like the Gillespie Park centre too and the walk from the Finsbury Park entrance is nice.
Good to walk up an appetite before a visit to Xi'an Impression on a non-match day.
