Overview

Starting from Watton-at-stone's Station we pass the investigated site of a suspected iron - age enclosure before arriving at a secluded wood. Then after we walk by the spectacular Frogmore Hall, we climb a hill to be rewarded with a lofty view of Stevenage. We head back to Watton - an Anglo -Saxon settlement- passing the Church and the town's high Street.

We pass through lovely countryside throughout this walk.
