This is a 7.5 mile LINEAR walk from Knebworth to Welwyn in the beautiful countryside of North Hertfordshire.
The route heads south through Knebworth, to Woolmer Green and then East to Datchworth.
We then navigate through a series of Greens (Bulls Green, Burnham Green and Harmer Green (plenty of winter warming pub opportunities to choose from here), before crossing the East Coast Mainline (in tunnel), and arriving at Welwyn North railway station where the walk ends.
