For trip planning, Northwood offers several distinct points of interest: golf at Northwood Golf Club, specific places of remembrance, and paths in nearby Ruislip Woods. The options range from a particular sporting activity to a woodland area in the surrounding area. If you are planning a stay, you can first decide what matters most to you: would you like to play golf, explore the memorial sites, or focus on signposted circular walks? These differences give your hotel search a clear direction.
Getting there and finding your way
Northwood Underground Station is served by the Metropolitan line. Check the connection for your travel date when planning your journey. Once your date is set, you can include the station and line in your search for the right connection. This makes it easier to coordinate your journey with your planned stay.
Memorial sites in Northwood
Fifty-four Polish pilots are buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission section of Northwood Cemetery. This number gives the section a specific connection to the remembrance of Polish airmen and a clearly defined historical focus. The Northwood Cemetery War Memorial has a different emphasis: it is a stone cross with a bronze sword on a polygonal base. One point of interest concerns the people buried there; the other, the design of a memorial. Visitors interested in remembrance will find two different perspectives on the subject here.
Golf on specific days for visitors
Northwood Golf Club was founded in 1891. In 2026/27, visitors are welcome on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and can play on the golf course. If you would like to include golf in your trip, you can plan your dates around these days and check the visitor information again before your visit. The year of the club’s founding provides a historical reference, while the visitor days are important for practical planning. Both the club’s history and choosing the right day to visit therefore matter.
Circular walks in nearby Ruislip Woods
Ruislip Woods is in the area around Northwood and is a National Nature Reserve with ancient, semi-natural woodland in Hillingdon, London. For walks, Hillingdon Council provides easily accessible, signposted circular routes that can be walked in either direction. The circular routes and signposting help you find your way, while leaving the direction of travel up to you. If you would like to include a walk in your plans, you can consider Ruislip Woods as a nearby nature option alongside the more location-specific themes of golf and memorial sites.
Plan a stay that suits you
When looking for a hotel, it helps to decide in a particular order: first, establish whether the golf club’s visitor days affect your dates. Then consider whether the memorial sites or nearby walks will be the main focus of your trip. This way, you can plan around your travel dates without giving every activity equal priority.
