A leisurely walk mainly on good tracks and lanes across woodland and open country with scenic views. There is little climbing as just gentle hills.
Bring a picnic lunch and something to sit upon (e.g. a sitmat) as we will not be passing any cafe or pubs.
From the village hall we follow the road towards Old Knebworth. Then we walk on a footpath that brings us to the entrance gate for Knebworth Park. Passing the church, we view the impressive Knebworth House before heading through the park to Graffidge Wood.
After crossing the road we walk though woodland to Crouch Green, then head south across open country towards Codicote. Skirting around Codicote we join a path towards Rableyheath and New Wood. We then head back though Park Wood to Knebworth.
After the walk we can join other ramblers for a cream tea at the village hall.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a lead.
Older children welcome (accompanied by parent / guardian) if accustomed to distance.

After the walks, there is the chance to meet other walkers for refreshments and conversation at Knebworth Village Hall (a few minutes' walk from Knebworth station) where we will enjoy a cream tea from 3pm onwards.
