The Hertfordshire Way
Stage 7b Hemel Hempstead to Kings Langley - Part 2
Woodman's Wood is super in the Spring sunshine - beeches, hazels, sweet chestnuts!
Leaving the wood we approach the small village at Belsize, and pass this daffodil field.
After Belsize, the Way climbs up to Chipperfield Common. The common is wooded, and on its southern edge is Apostle's Pond, so called because it was surrounded by twelve lime trees planted in 1714. In the 1980s they were pollarded and twelve new trees planted. One of the pollards can be seen in this picture.
Leaving Chipperfield we passed a farm called Top Common where there was this magnificent cockerel.
The Blackthorn is in blossom.
Not far to Kings Langley now.
At Kings Langley the Way re-crosses the Grand Union Canal.
