Overview

This is a short section of the London Countryway from Kings Langley through the pleasant Hertfordshire countryside approaching St. Albans through Verulamium Park.  Interestingly this section crosses the M25 twice, the second time rather spectacularly at the junction with the M1.

We should be in St Albans in time for a late lunch, but bring a drink and snack for the walk and a picnic to eat in St Albans.  We will finish the day with a drink and you will then have most of the afternoon free for sightseeing, shopping or just the journey home.
