A moderate paced walk through gently undulating farmland. Heading northwards through Benington for a picnic lunch in the churchyard. Continue to Walkern Hall and its winter woodland garden, where we hope to see a display of daffodils and other spring bulbs. Entrance £5 (under NGS). Home-made soup, tea and cakes available at garden (picnics not allowed there). No toilets until the garden.
Lunch: Picnic at churchyard.
Train: Moorgate 10:12. Buy return to Watton-at-Stone. Note: there are no toilets on this train. There is an alternative faster, but more expensive, route via Stevenage.
Please note: many factors can affect how long a walk takes and the finish time given is an estimate only.
