From the East Lane Car Park in Wheathampstead, via Nomansland, Heartwood Forest to a brief Pub stop (for a drink only) at a Pub and then along the Ayot Greenway path and thence back to Wheathampstead.
The walk is pretty flat all the way but at this time of year it is likely to be cold, possibly wet and some parts may be muddy - so walking poles would be a good idea.
Bring sandwiches & tea / coffee - and if you plan to go into the Pub - BOOT COVERS!
Optional car share from High Barnet: Victor's Way/Moxon St Car Park, EN5 5TR, leaving at 9:20 (15 miles).
The Car Park at Wheathampstead was free in early January 2026 and there is a Ladies and a Gents Loo (both of which may even be open!) by the Car Park.
