Overview

We discuss many things on our walks but one common topic is books. On this walk it’s suggested you read Walking Home by Simon Armitage before the walk then we can  talk about it as we walk as well as in the pub afterwards. During the walk we will be close to Camfield Place, which was built by Enid Blyton’s father and was then Barbara Cartland’s home for many years.

We will also walk through Essendon and skirt round Little Berkhampsted and Epping Green. 
 

It’s not compulsory to have read the book to come on the walk.
