Fancy checking out our walks before putting your boots on? Well now you can, thanks to keen Hertfordshire walker, Gerry Gross.

Walk 300: Wyddial Loop

5.3 miles (8.5 km) with 58m of total ascent

The route between points 6 & 7

This is a wonderful walk with panoramic views across the Hertfordshire countryside north-east of Buntingford. For large sections of the route you will escape civilisation with the only sound being birdsong. But pick a day when the sun is shining and the sky is clear to get the best from the wide open views along the walk.

Walk 299: Thorley West Loop

4.9 miles (7.9 km) with 43m of total ascent

Looking back along Thorley footpath 13 before point 23

This is an excellent walk for those fascinated by WWII archaeology. You will cross what was once RAF Sawbridgeworth. You will walk along parts of the airfield's perimeter track, pass some aircraft parking bays, as well as a few wartime buildings on the Woodside Trading Estate and Shingle Hall Farm. You will also pass a WWII pillbox.
