An abandoned railway line can be a creepy place to walk alone at night...
Overgrown vines. Forgotten railway infrastructure harkening back to a lost era. The smell of spray paint lingering in the air. These are all things that make the Parkland Walk between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace a little bit magical. But there's something else unsettling at play here.
Just beyond the disused platforms at Crouch End Station, are railway arches that host an amazing sculpture. Despite its size this artwork is easy to miss, crawling out of the darkness. You might have seen this giant woodland sprite before, but do you know what it depicts? It's called a Spriggan: these are mischievous creatures from Cornish folklore, known for thieving, but also for their part-time roles as fairy bodyguard (even mythical creatures need to make a living).
I hope you enjoy this one and I also hope you'll subscribe to my channel!
