You’ll need your walking poles for the ups and downs today as we enter the heath walking through the woods, seeing the wonderful views over the surrounding counties then across Therfield road into Fox’s Covert woods, across the mounds when the purple Pasque flowers appear in the spring, then back to the heath cafe for hot chocolate, across the chalky hills. This can be a tricky walk in the woods with many protruding roots, only choose this route if you are sure of foot. 

For anyone wanting a flat walk you could do your own walk staying on the flat ground of the heath and meet us back in the heath cafe for a social drink about 11.30.

Free car parking at the Royston Heath.
