Watton at Stone and Woodhall Park

Wednesday, 16 February 2022

Start time: 10:00
(Estimated finish time: 13:30)

Leisurely 6.5 miles / 10.5 km

Group East Hertfordshire

A really interesting walk starting from St Andrew and St Mary church on the edge of the village. Crossing over into Woodhall Park, we make our way to the weir and then follow the River Beane, a really attractive chalk stream tributary of the River Lea. Exploring the park and looking across to the Heath Mount school, we return to the church and then wind our way around the back of Watton into the beautiful Jubilee Woods, planted by the Woodhall Estate as a conservation area at the time of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012. 

Starting point

Park on the road just south of the mini roundabout close to the church.
