Approx 7.5 miles across fairly flat terrain.

Enjoy this circular walk through the glorious Hertfordshire countryside, starting in the pretty village of Wheathampstead, following in the footsteps of the playwright George Bernard Shaw and stopping off at his home of 44 years, Shaw's Corner.

As we stroll through the picturesque Herfordshire countryside you'll see the old Station Platform, and Lamer Park, home of Shaws' great friend Apsley Cherry-Garrard.

On the home stretch of the walk we'll follow the banks or of the river lee for a mile or two and take in the sights and sounds of the river. 

Pub stops will feature mid-way and at the end of the walk.
