If you are cancelling within an hour of the walk, please try to contact the walk leader personally to let them know you are not attending.

Location Notes:

We meet on the grass between King Harry Lane and Mayne Ave - just near the top of the Verulamium Park. (The King Harry pub is on the corner at the bottom of King Harry Lane). There is free parking bays on the side of the road at the top section of King Harry Lane, or there is side of road parking and other parking bays on Mayne Avenue opposite (just drive past Waitrose, AL3 4JZ) There is the lovely Inn on the Park available for refreshments after the walk... about 600m down the hill. Please bear in mind that on Saturday mornings the St Albans Park Run takes place too which can make parking a little more tricky. Routes from this venue may include paved pathways, woodland footpaths, tracks and open fields and gentle inclines. MODERATE LIKELIHOOD OF MEETING LIVESTOCK No Toilets available at this venue but at the end of the walk in the cafe
