We are the East Hertfordshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a lovely scenic walk through gentle rolling countryside, park and heathland and along some wooded footpaths.
We leave Codicote along Dark Lane with its 470 year old hedge, crossing the river Mimram before joining the Hertfordshire Way to Ayot St Lawrence. We can pause at the striking Palladian style church before continuing through Priors Wood then dropping down into Kimpton.
The route takes us past Kimpton church and up the other side of the valley to Hoo Park. We cross the ornamental bridge and gradually descend back down to the Mimram which we follow for a short but very pretty section on our way back to Codicote.
It is recommended that you bring your own food and drink for the walk.
The Homestead Cafe at Kimpton recreation ground should be open (not guaranteed) for coffee and cake about half way.
There are The Goat and The Globe pubs on the High Street for after walk refreshments.
We will meet in front of Cafe 77 next to the Goat, High Street, Codicote SG4 8XE. Please park considerately in the village.
