Walk Description:

Our walk starts and finishes at Welwyn Garden City Station and goes through 11 miles of attractive Hertfordshire countryside.  We start out along the River Lea, passing through the landscaped parkland of Brocket Hall and Lamer House, eventually reaching the pretty village of Ayot St Lawrence, which has two unusual churches and Shaw's Corner (NT) the home of George Bernard Shaw.

Our longer Explorer WALX are open to all, exploring beautiful areas in and around London. Routes are planned with breaks and the opportunity for refreshments but this isn't just a ramble; we'll encourage the good posture and motivation to push yourself as we do in all our WALX.

If you'd like to benefit from using Nordic walking poles, we advise you attend a Learn to Nordic WALX workshop. Walkers without poles or with trekking poles are very welcome.

Monthly Payment clients £10; Pre-paid Credit clients £16 - price adjusted at payment.
