Finchley & Hornsey is a friendly group, open to everyone. We walk mainly in Herts and surrounding counties.

Meet at the Church entrance to Hatfield Broad Oak Church. We follow the peaceful Princey Brook valley with natural lakes and water birds, to the National Trust Hatfield Forest. Here we head for the Shell House and the Forest Cafe with lakeside views. Walking through the Forest we return through farmland and woods to the start point. This area is not hilly but there will be some mud so poles advisable. Bring a picnic.
Entering the village of Hatfield Broad Oak on Feathers Hill, the road turns right and just before this on the left (and before The Feathers Pub), look out for a drive leading to an unsigned car park. This car park serves the church and you can walk through the church yard to meet the group at the church gate. If this is full or you pass it, carry on through the village looking for residential roads on the right where you can park and walk easily back to the Church
