NLSH Ramblers is a really friendly group, whose members all share a love of walking and the countryside. You’ll always receive a warm welcome from us, whether you want to walk with us regularly or from time to time.
From Stanstead Abbotts village car park we’ll walk along the New River to Great Amwell, through the churchyard full of snowdrops. We cross the Lee then into open countryside via Watersplace, then towards Hunsdon with lovely views of the Ash valley. The first three miles will be on firm paths and short stretches of country lanes. Later on there will be two stiles and possibly muddy fields.
Bring a picnic. Brief pub stop (drink only). Optional car share from High Barnet: Victor's Way Car Park, EN5 5TR What3words: rocks.gain.votes leaving 09:15 (17 miles).
