Welwyn Circular

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!
