Overview

Our annual pre AGM walk this year, is based at Hertford Heath.  The walk will take us on a circular walk around the outskirts of the village, taking in views, woods, fields and skirting around the beautiful Haileybury College. We leave the village to head west before turning south to walk through Balls Wood. This is a large woodland dominated by Hornbeams, Oak Ash and conifers.  After leaving these woods, we head back toward the village before crossing the road to skirt around the perimeter the College. After dropping down beside the A10 we turn left to enter Goldings Wood and Much Wood.  We then arrive back in the village where we skirt around The Green to eventually return to the hall for soup and bread before the AGM
