Overview

This hike initially follows the Lea Valley trail passing the lakes at Stanborough Park then Lemsford and on to Wheathampstead for a lunch stop. Please bring a packed lunch.

After lunch we pick up sections of the Hertfordshire Way to Ayot St Lawrence, thereafter following other footpaths to join Ayot Greenway then into lovely woods to six ways where there are literally six paths. We will follow one of these to Welwyn Garden City to finish the walk.

We will be walking at a brisk pace.
