We are the East Hertfordshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will walk through the village of Stanstead Abbotts, crossing over the River Lea. Heading up Chapel Lane we will reach cross field paths, which will hopefully offer us views over London, weather permitting. We will pass below Little Briggens before joining The Harcamlow Way for a short distance. By Young Wood we will join The Hertfordshire Way before turning to walk through Easneye Wood, passing the attractive estate cottages. Walking beside the Ash River and along the old St. Margaret’s to Buntingford railway line we will reach The River Lea. Using the towpath we will return to Stanstead Abbotts
There is an opportunity for pre walk coffee at several of the cafes in the village.
We will meet on the green beside The Jolly Fisherman and The River Lea by The Stones. Stanstead Abbotts has good bus services from Hertford, Ware, Hoddesdon and Harlow. It also has St. Margaret’s Station on the Hertford East railway line. https://www.traveline.info/ There is a small village car park off the High Street. There is a charge for parking. https://www.eastherts.gov.uk/highways-and-parking/details-our-car-parks/car-parks-stanstead-abbotts There is on street parking in Roydon Road, Hoddesdon Road and Amwell Lane. Please allow adequate time to find parking and be at the start of the walk in time.
