Stevenage, Benington & Walkern (11.5 miles / 18.5km - Moderate, Booking Req)

This is a joint walk with North London & South Herts Ramblers, with 15 spaces for Stag Walkers.

A walk to a village famed for its witch!

Starting from the eastern edge of Stevenage, the walk will visit the villages of Benington and Walkern and the surrounding countryside. Along the undulating route we will pass manor houses and cross farmland on some of which we could encounter cows, horses and sheep. Bring a packed lunch for our stop midway by Benington's duck pond (no feeding bread to the ducks please - and no ducking suspected witches). Towards the end of the walk we will stop in a pub in Aston End.

Please note that walking boots are highly recommended as we will be crossing fields likely to be muddy, some of them downhill.

This walk is not suitable for dogs.

Booking your place: If you would like to join, you must book in advance using the Stag Walkers Meetup group - see Notes for how to book & what to bring. If you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking so that someone else can take your place.

Please do not turn up for a walk without booking, as places are limited.

Unless you opt in to further communications, we will only use contact information you provide to get in touch about the walk.

Please car-share or use public transport if possible. To offer a lift or ask for one from a fellow walker, please use the Meetup event page.
