Overview

Everyone is welcome to our pre AGM walk. 
We will walk past Tonwell Water Tower which is being converted into a Airbnb property. As we pass Temple Farm we will keep our eyes peeled for the buried treasure supposedly left behind by The Knights Templar. Joining The Hertfordshire Way we will walk through Sacombe Park to reach St Catherine’s Church. A church has been on this site for over a 1000 years.

We will then walk through Home, Low and Furzeground Woods and past an impressive walled garden. We will rejoin The Hertfordshire Way just before Wadesmill to walk past Chelsing Farm hopefully seeing the Guinea Fowl. We will return to Temple Farm passing an impressive barn and then a short walk back to Tonwell.
