Walk Description:

Our walk starts at Hertford East Station and finishes at Rye House. From Hertford the route goes along the River Lea and passes New Gauge, the starting point of New River.  Due to a path closure we continue along the River Lea to Ware where we can then pick up the path alongside the New River itself and contiue on to Rye House.

Key sights

New Gauge The Meads area of unique flood meadow Amwell Islands St Margarets Rye House Gatehouse

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.
