Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire is the 'county of opportunity' for walkers, with a rich and rewarding landscape that blends rolling countryside and tranquil waterways with pockets of historic charm just beyond the reach of London. The 40 walks in this book lead you from the cathedral city streets of St Albans and the county town of Hertford to the high chalk ridges and sweeping views of the beautiful Chiltern Hills, making the most of an extensive network of waymarked paths which wind through ancient woodlands, open heathland, picturesque villages, wildlife-rich meadows and grand country estates all within easy reach of vibrant towns like Watford, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead.
