Overview

This lovely circular walk starts along the River Lee Navigation heading east. We cross the river and head north along the beautiful Amwell Nature Reserve, known for its birdlife, local flora and fauna. We then walk through some pleasant countryside passing Watersplace Farm and Swades Farm. We continue to head north passing to the left of Cold Christmas. When we reach the River Rib we head west to Wadesmill, where we stop for lunch. There is a pub, but please bring a packed lunch. After lunch we head east through more pretty countryside passing a golf course. When we reach the River Lee we head west for a pleasant riverside walk back to Ware.

No booking / registration is required for this walk - simply turn up on the day.

Travel: Take the 9.42 from Liverpool Street (9.55 Tottenham Hale), arrives at Ware at 10.25. There are two trains an hour back to Liverpool Street at 13 and 43 minutes past the hour.
