Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

This is a pleasant flat trail which offers a canal, tranquil woodland, picturesque countryside and a river over 7miles/11 km.
Starting from Stanstead St Margarets Station we will follow the canal to the Great Amwell Nature Reserve before pass through farmland and a bridge over the River Ash. Following a country loop to Ware with landscape views we shall have lunch at the playground.
Please bring a picnic lunch and a seating mat.
