The Royston Ramblers invite you to enjoy fresh air and wonderful countryside in great company. Try us! We really are a very friendly group
We set off left from the Coach and Horses pub and walk along a minor road until we turn off and reach open countryside on what becomes the Harcamlow Way alongside Debden Water. We pass through or near several farms, fields of sheep, touch the edge of Howe Wood, walk through Cabbage Wood, past Waldegraves and continue until we rejoin the Harcamlow Way. Making our way very carefully down a very steep and potentially slippy hill, we find ourselves on the opposite side of Debden Water from where we began. After negotiating a short incline and then a long but not steep descent, we come back through a scenic little wood to our starting point and back to the pub.
There are some ups and downs on this walk and some short stretches of road as well as one very busy road crossing.
Coach and Horses Pub, Cambridge Rd, Newport. Jon the landlord is happy for those coming into the pub after the walk to use the carpark and will kindly open the doors at around 9.45am so we can use the facilities and book food, if eating. If you aren't coming into the pub for refreshments, please park considerately on Bridge End - turn left off Cambridge Rd just beyond the pub .
