Overview

We head north out of the capital and into rural Hertfordshire, taking in a pleasant park, the New River, nature reserves as well as woods and fields. Ancient Rome calls as we stride along Ermine Street before the mysteriously named Morgan's Walk takes us to the history-packed county town of Hertford.

Bring a packed lunch. Possible pub stop.

Travel: Take the 10.12 from Moorgate (10.27 Finsbury Park), arr. Gordon Hill at 10.49.

Meet outside Gordon Hill station in the car park.

Use Oyster/contactless.
