Overview

Although we start on Therfield Heath for the parking and Cafe, most of this walk is in the Parish of Royston. We'll use the fairly rural footpaths and lanes on the southern side of the town, before coming back through the park and town centre.  There is not much street walking, but one or two of the paths are definitely single file.  There are several ascents and descents, including a short flight of steps,
