Summary

The Hertfordshire Way is a fully waymarked circular walk around the county of Hertfordshire. The route is mainly in open countryside — some less than 20 miles from central London — while also passing through the historic city of St Albans, the county town of Hertford, and the towns of Royston and Bishop’s Stortford, as well as many smaller attractive villages. Formally divided into 16 sections, most stages are accessible via public transport. The walk was planned and is maintained by the Friends of the Hertfordshire Way, who are affiliated with the Ramblers Association. (Source: Wikipedia)
