We are Herts Weekend Walkers, HWW for Short . We are aimed at people who are normally working during the week and can usually only find time to get outside and enjoy a walk at the weekend.
This circular walk starts at St Marys Church, Fleece Lane in Braughing, an ancient village in rural East Hertfordshire. There are two pubs in the village – the Golden Fleece and the Axe and Compass. This walk is mostly on gentle tracks and paths with some ploughed fields so may be muddy especially along Braughing Bourne near the end of the walk, if we have had rain.
We will wander through peaceful woods, gentle hills, and past farms and cottages. The walk is ideal for dogs as no livestock and lots of open fields. Three great long-distance paths cross the countryside near Braughing -Greenwich Meridian Trail, the Harcamlow Way and the Hertfordshire Way.

There is limited parking behind the church and on the roadside near both the pubs. The nearest postcode is SG11 2QA
There is no need to pre-book or contact the leader in advance.
If already a Ramblers member, please bring your Ramblers card (or membership details on the app) as we submit a register to Ramblers before we start the walk. Totally new members are allowed to come on up to three walks before joining.
