Overview

On this walk we will use the Ayot Greenway, a dismantled railway that ran from Welwyn Garden City and Luton. Wheathampstead is a lovely village with some interesting houses. From here we will pick up the Lea Valley walk to walk to Brocket Hall. We will pass the mid C17th Waterend House. Brocket Hall is a grade 1 listed neo classical county house. From here we will cross the golf course back to the start.
