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.
A lovely three leg loop walk through the Hertfordshire countryside. The walk starts at Welwyn Garden City station (10:30am) and the first leg (about 4 miles) runs to Ayot St Lawrence. Here there are ruins of old St Lawrence church, ‘new’ neo-classical St Lawrence church and Brocket arms pub. Pub has coffee and toilets.
Leg two (about 4 miles) is through countryside and woodlands to Wheathampstead (about 4 miles). This is a small village with 16/17th houses, St Helen’s church, the river Lea, coffee shops and toilets. Drop out point. Bus 610 to Cockfosters tube and 357 to Borehamwood Station.
Leg three (about 4 miles) back to Welwyn Garden City runs along Ayot greenway – an abandoned rail branch line converted to a foot path. Trail runs through woodlands and may be opportunity to see some minature horse along way.
Pubs and toilets in Welwyn Garden City. May be muddy.
