We’re a Ramblers group aimed mainly at people in their 20s, 30s and a bit beyond, offering guided hikes and social events across Herts, Beds and south Cambs.
This walk is for up to 25 people, including the leader.
A walk through some attractive areas of woodland and farmland in Hertfordshire, with a few moderate hills.
We will start at Knebworth Station, and follow the railway line, before passing through woodland at Mardley Heath Local Nature Reserve.
After this, we will cross a bridge over the A1 Motorway, before passing through Pottersheath and then crossing over farmland, where we will get some good views looking over Codicote.
At Codicote, we will stop at the village green for lunch, with the option of visiting The Goat pub for refreshments and a comfort break.
After this, we will head back east, passing more farmland, then will cut through New Wood, before arriving back at Knebworth, with the option of a stop at The Station pub.
There may be some mud on the route, so please bring a change of footwear if intending to join the pub stops.
Dogs are welcome on a lead.
For information about walking with the group, including our dog policy, please visit the Stag Walkers website.

Please do not turn up for a walk without booking, as places are limited.

Please:
DO NOT book onto a walk unless you are pretty sure you will be able to make it.
UPDATE YOUR RSVP. We understand ‘life happens’ so if you need to change your RSVP please do this at least 24 hours before the walk and before booking closes to enable someone else to take your place.
DON’T NO-SHOW on the day unless it is absolutely unavoidable (we do understand ‘life happens’) because it prevents others from enjoying a walk if it is fully booked.
*TAKE NOTE that if you no-show and/or cancel after the booking closing deadline three times, without extenuating circumstances, we will decline further bookings from you for a period of six weeks.*
Bring a packed lunch/snacks and drinks, appropriate clothing for the conditions and optionally a basic first aid kit.
