Freddie Mercury and Queen famously played Knebworth in 1986 but who needs Bohemian Rhapsody when you can have a pleasant stroll though the pile's delightful parkland? Two other stately homes and an evocative ruined chapel also feature as we take in the countryside west of Stevenage, a new town that at its heart has an ancient village, the location of our final watering hole. Pub stop for drinks only.
Please bring a packed lunch.
Travel: Take the 10.06 from Kings Cross (10.12 Finsbury Park), arriving at Knebworth at 10.46.
Buy return to Stevenage.
