  • 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.

Questions from Councillors 8. Motions from Councillors a) Local Government Reform Proposed by Councillor Mark Ingall (seconded by Councillor Eugenie Harvey): “This Council believes that the anticipated Government white paper on Local Government reorganisation is premature and ill-timed and agrees that: i) The current district council system has delivered, and continues to deliver high quality services for local residents; ii) Any combined authority or unitary arrangement will create a democratic deficit with less accountability to Harlow residents; and iii) The focus on Covid-19 recovery, and the challenges currently faced by local authorities as a result, means that additional pressures of reorganisation from any Government proposal are ill-timed. The Council therefore requests that the Leader of the Council writes to the Secretary of State expressing the Council’s view in the strongest terms.” b) Sam's Place Proposed by Councillor Chris Vince (seconded by Councillor Shannon Jezzard): “Harlow Council opposes the requirement of Essex County Council to impose charges for the use of Sam's place, a cherished facility which provides play and socialising opportunities for disabled children and respite for parents.

Licence number AL 100020327 (EECOS) 100018534 (Epping Forest District Council) Ep151 Knightsland Wood (11.4 ha) TL 515010 This large ancient wood has a canopy comprising Hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus ) coppice with occasional areas of tall Ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) coppice. Beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) standards have been planted throughout. The wood lacks any extensive shrub canopy, but does include scattered Elder ( Sambucus nigra ), Blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ) and Spindle ( Euonymus europaeus ), found towards the margins. Wild Service- tree ( Sorbus torminalis ), which has a strong affinity with ancient woodland, is also found. Along the southern margin grows Buckthorn ( Rhamnus cathartica ), a plant associated with calcareous soils. Under more open canopy areas tussocky Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa ) exploits a damp substrate. Amongst the ground flora, a large population of Early-purple Orchids ( Orchis mascula ) is of particular note. Other species in the ground flora include Bluebell ( Hyacinthoides non-scripta ), Wood Spurge ( Euphorbia amygdaloides ), Primrose ( Primula vulgaris ), Cowslip ( P. veris), Goldilocks Buttercup ( Ranunculus auricomus) and Yellow Archangel ( Lamiastrum galeobdolon ).
