Overview

The Welwyn Garden City circular walk has to be postponed as there are no rail services to WGC on 01/02/2025.  The following walk will be covered which I have led previously.

A walk following the River Lee Navigation and a loop to Wareside where we will have lunch then returning to the Lee Navigation at St. Margarets. Pub lunch at the Chequers Inn at Wareside. There is a picnic spot nearby for those with a packed lunch.

If you would like a pub lunch then contact me by Wednesday evening so I can book a table.  For menu refer to link below.

There is a drop out point at Wareside.  Bus from Wareside (outside the White Horse PH) to Ware.   Journey at 14:26pm, time about 15 minutes.

Suggested train times at 08:55 from Tottenham Hale to Hertford East, arriving at 09:31.  Return trains from St. Margarets to Tottenham Hale at 17 and 47 minutes past the hour.

Return train fare from Tottenham Hale to Hertford East £12.80 without railcards / oyster cards.
