The Hertfordshire Way is a 166 mile long distance trail around the county divided into 14 legs, and beginning and ending at Royston. Bluetiger walked the first leg from Royston to Wallington, 10.5 miles, in October 2001. The guidebook describes this as "the most dramatic leg from the scenery point of view with the first half of the walk climbing and following the scarp edges of the chalk hills. Once on the top we come into a gentle rural landscape of fields and hedgerows with gentle rolling hills, so typical of Hertfordshire."
In Jubilee Wood on Therfield Heath
This structure is on Therfield Heath, but I'm not sure what it's for!
They train racehorses on the heath. These are at Thrift Farm.
Approaching a spinney between Thrift Farm and Therfield village. We had lunch just beyond here. The temperature today was at least 25 degrees and it was very humid.
What's this....Dartmoor or something?
We called in at a stained glass studio in Kelshall.
