Overview

The loop is mostly under tree canopy, starting from Cock Lane car park, going through Hoddesdon Park Wood to Spital Brook fords, along the roman road (Ermine Street), through Balls Wood and Broxbourne Woods to Blackfields Farm, on to Monks Green, Bramble’s Wood, Highfield Wood, Danemead Wood and so back to the start.

During the walk we will pass the remains of a medieval moated enclosure, the site of a doodle-bug hit and Danemead Nature Reserve.
