A brisk (2.5 - 3.0 mph) walk to Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, near Much Hadham, is where the 20th-century sculptor Henry Moore created some of his greatest works.

The walk is mainly flat with open fields. So, no ascents, steps or stiles.

There is approx. 70 acres of Henry Moore's land in Hertfordshire. We will have access to:
