  • Response to Hertfordshire County Council South
    Walking in Hertfordshire – Time to Reverse 60+ Years of Loss of Walking Routes South Herts Living Streets Manifesto for Walking in South Hertfordshire South Herts Living Streets Group is dedicated to improving walking routes in South Hertfordshire, including part of the London Borough of Barnet that was previously in Hertfordshire. We focus on walking routes between North London and Hertfordshire, from Apex Corner at Mill Hill and High Barnet Station North towards Borehamwood, South Mimms, North Mymms, Welham Green, Hatfield, Stanborough and Welwyn Garden City. We also propose an East-West walking route from the Herts/Essex border at Waltham Abbey to Waltham Cross, Cuffley, Northaw, Potters Bar, South Mimms, Ridge and Borehamwood. Our comprehensive survey of walking in South Herts shows a major loss of pavements and safe walking routes due to motorways and trunk roads that were built in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. These have had a major impact on walking routes in the South Hertfordshire Area. Many walking routes that go along or across major roads have been lost or have become unsafe due to: A6 South Mimms Bypass (1958) A1 Mill Hill to South Mimms change to dual carriageway (1960s and 1970s) London 'D' Ring Road/M25 (1971) A1(M) Junction 1/M25 Junction 23 at South Mimms (1972) A1(M) Junctions 1 - 2 South Mimms to South Hatfield (1970s) A1(M) Junction 3 and Hatfield Tunnel (1982). Since then more walking routes have been lost because some footways beside roads were planned but were never built and other footways that existed in the past were buried under banks of earth.

Timing 5 hours walking time + travel and lunch stops. Say 7 hours in total. Therefore expect to be back in Islington by 5.00pm. Meeting up Meet at 9.40 latest, at the entrance of Highbury & Islington, ready to & travel catch the Great Northern 9.56 direct train to Cuffley (toward Hertford North) from Platform 4 at Highbury & Islington station. It’s about a 30 mins journey. The Freedom Pass/ 60+ Travel card area extends just to Crews Hill so you’ll need a ticket from Crews Hill to Cuffley - 1 stop.

Route From Cuffley station we turn right & immediately right again into Tolmers Rd. Follow this windy road through the back streets of Cuffley (nice houses!!) for about a kilometre along the Hertfordshire Way on to the Hertfordshire Chain Walk and into Home Wood. Through the wood turning right at the end onto ‘Newgate Street’. Although part of the Hertfordshire Chain Way unfortunately there is no pavement for about 1km on this busy main road until we get to a T junction (2.8km). Nice church here! Take the right road but immediately cut off left down a track towards Home Farm – pleasant quiet going here now. We pass a remote golf course.

  • CPRE Hertfordshire Walk the Ver Valley and Bricket Wood
    CPRE Hertfordshire Walk The Ver Valley and Bricket Wood This walk is a linear route linking stations on the Abbey railway line between Watford and St Albans, following the River Ver Trail. The shorter route between St Albans Abbey station and either Park Street station or How Wood station is 3 miles. The entire route to Bricket Wood station from St Albans is just under 7 miles. Much of the route runs close to the River Ver, passing numerous historic features including water mills. The photo below is looking upstream just below Sopwell Bridge. Trains run regularly on the Abbey line from Watford Junction station to St Albans Abbey station, with an end-to-end journey time of 16 minutes. For timetables visit abfly.org.uk. You might want to note the times of possible return trains before setting out. Alternatively there are numerous car parks in St Albans City centre. The walk described begins close to St Albans Abbey station at the foot of Holywell Hill. It follows the River Ver Trail for much of the route before a short climb to reach Bricket Wood Common near the end of the longer route. The River Ver Trail is mostly close to the river, and in places it can get wet underfoot in winter and after rain, so appropriate footwear is advised. Much of the route is reasonably sheltered and ideal for a winter walk. In Park Street there are various options for refreshments. There are no stiles. Alongside the river and also in the area of flooded gravel workings in the vicinity of Park Street and Frogmore be aware of open and deep water if you have children or dogs.
