Northwood: Golf, Memorials and Trails in Nearby Ruislip Woods

Northwood can be explored for trip planning through specific interests: golf, remembrance and trails in nearby Ruislip Woods. Northwood Underground Station is served by the Metropolitan line. If you are looking for a hotel in Northwood, you can first consider which of these interests matters most for your stay. The options differ considerably: specific visiting days are listed for the golf club, there are waymarked circular trails in Ruislip Woods, and the Northwood Cemetery is home to specific memorial sites.

Connections for trip planning

Northwood Underground Station is served by the Metropolitan line. This connection can be a useful reference point when planning your trip. If your hotel choice depends on it, check current service information in advance. The station information is a specific point of reference for your transport planning; the other places to visit each have their own conditions. Specific weekdays are listed for golf, while the option to choose your direction is a useful detail for the trails.

Circular trails in nearby Ruislip Woods

Ruislip Woods, a National Nature Reserve with ancient, natural woodland in Hillingdon, London, is located near Northwood. Hillingdon Council provides accessible, waymarked circular trails there that can be walked in either direction. This gives you a specific option for making woodland trails a focus of your visit. The waymarking helps you find your way along the trails, while you can choose your own direction. This makes these trails different from a visit with specific weekdays named: in the woods, the choice of direction is what matters, while for golf, it is choosing the right day to visit.

Golf and visiting days

Northwood Golf Club allows visitors to play on its golf course and lists Monday, Tuesday and Thursday as visiting days. These days are listed for 2026/27; visitor information may change. So check the details before making plans if you want to include a visit to play golf. The club was founded in 1891. This combines the specific opportunity for visitors to play on the course with a datable historical connection. The two aspects serve different purposes when making your decision: the founding year describes the club’s history, while the visiting days are relevant to practical planning.

Memorial sites and digital navigation

In the Commonwealth War Graves Commission section of Northwood Cemetery, 54 Polish airmen are buried. The Northwood Cemetery War Memorial is a stone cross with a bronze sword on a polygonal plinth. One detail concerns the people buried there, the other the design of the memorial: the stone cross, sword and plinth offer specific visual details for your visit. If you are interested in memorial sites, you can focus either on the graves or on the form of the memorial.

You can follow the Polish Air Force Heritage Trail on your smartphone using an interactive map. Check that the map is available before travelling. This provides a digital navigation option for the trail alongside the memorial sites described; it is a separate option for trip planning.

Plan your stay around your interests

Northwood Underground Station, the golf club’s visiting days, the trails in Ruislip Woods and the memorial sites answer different planning questions. For a golf visit, the listed days matter; on a circular trail, you can choose the direction; and at Northwood Cemetery, the people buried there and the specific design of the memorial are key points of reference. So consider which of these interests matters most for your trip, and check time-sensitive information in advance.
