Overview

Please can you book a place by emailing me using the link provided.

Please buy a return ticket to Harpenden. For the outward journey take the 9.51 from London Bridge or the 10.06 from St Pancras (platform B). I will board at St Pancras.

The morning goes through the new Heartwood forest and the afternoon through the Childwickbury eand Gorehambury estates. We finish in the historic town of St Albans. Lunch will be in the village of Sandridge where is may be possible to leave the walk (options tbc).

I will add more details after I have walked over the route.
