Walk 12: Old Welwyn Loop

4.6 miles (7.4km) with 102m total ascent

The River Mimram close to the village of Welwyn

This walk starts in a small car park at the eastern end of the Ayot Greenway then crosses some lovely rolling countryside before dropping down to Welwyn, often called Old Welwyn, a village in the valley of the River Mimram, where you will find several pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops selling refreshments. At a few sections of this walk you will be aware of the sound of the A1(M) and there is some urban walking as you enter and leave Welwyn. A couple of sections of the route can be muddy after rain.
