Overview

PLACES ON OUR WALKS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE.

Highfield Park, located to the south east of St Albans, was created from 60 acres of the grounds of former mental hospitals, which closed in the 1990s. This amble will be a gentle stroll around the park mainly on dry paths through open spaces and wooded areas. Coffee is available at the Trestle Arts Base on our way back to the car park.
