Walk Description:

Our walk starts and finishes at St Albans Abbey Station. The route sets out from St Albans and goes through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Ver Valley and frequently follows the river.  We pass through the three Burys - Childwickbury, Redbournbury and Gorhambury with the option to view some of the roman remains on our return into St Albans.  The walk is on firm paths (estate drives and country lanes) and footpaths throughout so trainers advised rather than heavy walking boots.

Key sights

Our longer Explorer WALX are open to all, exploring beautiful areas in and around London. Routes are planned with breaks and the opportunity for refreshments but this isn't just a ramble; we'll encourage the good posture and motivation to push yourself as we do in all our WALX.

If you'd like to benefit from using Nordic walking poles, we advise you attend a Learn to Nordic WALX workshop. Walkers without poles or with trekking poles are very welcome.

Monthly Payment clients £10; Pre-paid Credit clients £16 - price adjusted at payment.

Time: Meet at St Albans Abbey Station ready to start at 10.00 am
