Harpenden and Redbourn Festive Morning Walk (7 Miles / 11 km - Leisurely, Booking Required)

This walk is for up to 25 people, including the leader.

Join us for this festive circular walk between Harpenden and Redbourn.

We begin the walk in Harpenden, a prosperous small town famous for its large common. We walk past St Nicholas Church and along the high street, which is decorated with Christmas lights.

We cross Harpenden and Rothamsted Park, formerly part of the Rothamsted country estate, then through Knott Wood. We then use the Nickey Line, a former railway line now repurposed as a walking and cycling path, to reach Redbourn, a large village with its own large common.

The walk returns to Harpenden by climbing out of the Ver river valley and crossing a golf course, then heading to Hatching Green on the Southwestern edge of Harpenden to reach the White Horse pub, where we will stop for a refreshment break. The pub is opposite Harpenden Common, where in previous years a large and marvellous Christmas Snowman could be seen. The walk then finishes by crossing the common to the start point.

Walkers are advised to bring warm clothes and snacks/drinks.

This walk is not suitable for dogs.
