Walk 230: Welwyn Garden City Short Loop

2 miles (3.3 km) with 42m total ascent

The Ayot Greenway through Sherrardspark Wood

We've had many requests for walks in the shade and for walks on the flat, so we decided to add this short walk to try to meet both needs. The route starts and finishes in the car park at Campus West in Welwyn Garden City then heads west along the eastern section of Ayot Greenway through Sherrardspark Wood, which is one of Hertfordshire's largest and most important oak and hornbeam woodlands, before returning the same way.

Walk 223: Sherrardspark Wood Loop

3.7 miles (5.9 km) with 79m of total ascent

One of the footpaths through Sherrardspark Wood

This is a lovely walk exploring Sherrardspark Wood, a 75-hectares site of ancient woodland within walking distance of Welwyn Garden Station. The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Local Nature Reserve. There are many trails through the woodland making it a great place to just wander and explore. We have chosen some of the prettier paths and created a loop which we hope you enjoy.
