A trip around the Borough of Barnet - Part 1 - Folly Brook

We live in an amazing borough. For some time, for some time I've been meaning to do a little series on the good things. So all this week, I'll be taking you on a little trip around the Borough, detailing some of the things I like most in our neighbourhood. I also think that many Barnet Eye readers are the type of open minded souls who are always on the lookout for other interesting blogs, websites and other sources of information. So this tour is through the eyes of fellow bloggers and writers. We start today with a man we've long admired. The legendary Diamond Geezer. He takes us on a fascinating tour of Folly Brook.

What remains is mostly farmland, woodland and haymeadows, so that's lovely, although it's not always possible to walk alongside the river, especially in its upper course......"
