Just to the west of Perivale Park are the Northala fields, a prominent feature of which are the four large mounds. The largest and tallest of these has a spiral (right handed!) path to the top, which we walked today. The flowers on either side of the path were stunning – as was the scent from the thistles, attracting quite a few butterflies as well.
At the base of the mounds is an area that has been seeded with sunflowers, cosmos and other bright flowers. This should reach its peak in perhaps a months time, when the area will be ripe for another walk.
