Overview

This circular walk of approx. 7.5 miles takes us from The Nags Head PH at Bishop's Stortford to the Shell House in Hatfield Forest for a coffee stop and toilet break, before returning via Bedlar's Green and Great Hallingbury.

Ramblers are invited to join the walk leader for an optional pub lunch at The Nags Head after the walk. Please send your lunch pre-order to the walk leader by Thursday 16th May -- see link to menus below.

Please note that the pub will not be open before 10.00 a.m. hence we may not be able to use their loos before we set off on our walk.
