Baby Loss Tree, Parkland Walk (south)
Remembering those lost before they lived The Parkland Walk offers a wonderful way to connect with nature while looking out for the remains of the railway that once ran along this route to Alexandra Palace. Various bridges allow for different views of the city, while the statue of a Spriggan peers down from the brick arches onto those walking below. Near the Highgate end of the route, set back from the path, stands an established ancient oak tree draped in colourful ribbons and name tags. This is the Baby Loss Tree. The History of the Tree The memorial was born from a deeply personal place. The idea came from Hilary Grierson, a local Crouch End mother who created it in honour of her son, Hamish, who was stillborn.
