Overview

Starting in Nomansland, just south of Wheathampstead, we head east across country to Symondshyde Great Wood, a beautiful pine forest. Then we head west along the Hertfordshire Way before turning into Heartwood Forest. Here we visit Langley Wood, one of the outstanding sites for Bluebells in Hertfordshire before making our way through the Forest back to Nomansland.
