Overview

This walk will use some less well used paths to take us to Roe Green via Southern  Green and Offley Green. We then join the Hertfordshire Way and The Ickneild Way to walk to Wallington, enjoying open views to the North. We will walk through the village to see the house George Orwell lived in when he conceived the idea for Animal Farm. We then join the Ickneild Way again towards Quickswood Farm. We then rejoin the Hertfordshire Way past Bush Spring before turning South through Wallington Common and Shaw Green to return to Rushden.
