SWC 69: Welwyn Circular t=swc.69
Distance: 11.4
miles or 18.3 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 2 out of 10
Train: 10:03 Thameslink Cambridge train from London Kings Cross, arriving Welwyn Garden City at 10:30. Return
fast trains are at 52 past the hour (slower trains are also at 28 and 58 past
the hour to Moorgate). Buy a day return to Welwyn Garden City.
From recollection, this makes a pleasant winter
day’s outing, not too far from London but involving proper countryside. Highlights
include the landscaped gardens of Brocket Hall and Lamer House and the
picturesque village of Ayot St. Lawrence with two interesting churches……More
information about the walk can be found here.
The recommended
lunch stop is the Brockett Arms (01438 820 250) in Ayot St.Lawrence (about 6.5 miles/11 km into the walk). Alternatives
are also mentioned in the walk notes.
The recommended tea
stop is the Waggoners about 1 km from the end of the walk. There
are also various watering holes near the station back in WGC.
Enjoy the walk!
