Walk 295: Ware East Loop

5.7 miles (9.1 km) with 94m of total ascent

The River Ash close to point 28 in the walk

This is a lovely route which crosses the River Ash six times as it weaves its way north-east from Ware. The first part explores open countryside overlooking the beautiful Ash valley before dropping down to follow the course of the river along well-defined public rights of way. It's another route where you will escape the noise of cars and will be able to enjoy birdsong and the sound of running water. The wildflowers are amazing in April.

Walk 163: Widfordbury Loop

5.5 miles (8.8 km) with 85m of total ascent

Footpath 8 between points 9 and 10

This is a fairly hilly walk which has been rerouted (February 2022) to avoid a section that is waterlogged most of the year. The walk offers some wide open views across rolling Hertfordshire countryside. There is a pub just past the halfway point.
