Overview

This walk starts in the picturesque village of Hunsdon. We will head east then north across open fields and through woodlands to the Ash Valley. After walking along the River Ash for half a mile, we will ascend the steep short sharp slope and flight of steps up to the church at Widfordbury. We then return to Hunsdon along a byway.

At the junction between High Street and Acorn Street. On street parking is available along the High Street, either side of the meeting point. NB It is not a good idea to park along Drury Lane, since this is quite narrow, and Thursday appears to be bin collection day!
