Walk Description:

Our walk starts at Welwyn North Station and goes through 8 miles of attractive Hertfordshire countryside.  We have selected the most attractive section of a circular route devised to celebrate the Centenary of Welwyn Garden City in 2020.  We will finish at Welwyn Garden City Station for our return to London

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.

 

Time: Meet at the entrance to Welwyn North Station ready to start at 10.00 am.  

Regular trains run from London Kings Cross to Welwyn North taking about 30 minutes.
