We are Herts Weekend Walkers, HWW for Short . We are aimed at people aged in their 40s, 50s & 60s who are normally working during the week and can usually only find time to get outside and enjoy a walk at the weekend.

For over three hundred years straw plaiters worked in Pirton producing straw boaters for the hat trade in Luton. We start from the Great Green in Pirton opposite the Mott & Bailey pub. We are on the edge of the Chiltern so today’s walk is fairly hilly. We take the Wood Lane track in the direction of Knocking Hoe before turning right in the direction of the Icknield Way towards Markham Hill. We pass Wellbury House heading towards Clouds Hill Farm before turning east in the direction of Wellbury Lower Wood. We then turn north towards Hanginghill Plantation, before taking the path back to our starting point in Pirton.
This is a moderate pace walk. We want everyone to enjoy our walks, if you have any concerns about the pace please speak to the walk leader.
Please bring your Ramblers card (if you have one) to help speed up the Ramblers register before we start the walk.
Meet on the Great Green, Pirton opposite the Motte & Bailey pub, Great Green, Pirton, Hitchin SG5 3QD. Please park considerately around the village.
