We are the East Hertfordshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will explore the parks around Stevenage.
Fairyland Valley Park provides a variety of habitats which support a range of wildlife. In addition to the traditional short grass swards, it also benefits from woodland, a network of lakes, long grass swards and grassland which provides a home to the Great Green Bush Cricket – the only colony in Hertfordshire.
Hampson Park is an historical parkland in Stevenage named after local Olympian, Thomas Hampson. Thomas Hampton (28 October 1907 – 4 September 1965) was an English athlete, winner of the 800 metres at the 1932 Summer Olympics and the first man to run 800 metres in under 1 minute 50 seconds.
Hampson park is the highest point in Stevenage, with great views across the town and surrounding countryside.
We will meet in the free car park off Church Lane, in Old Town Stevenage, SG1 3AN TL234252 W3Ws///juror.bubble.wicked
