This walk starts in the village of Aston to the south-east of Stevenage then follows the River Beane south before looping back through Astonbury Wood, a Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust nature reserve. You will cross a number of arable fields and follow rights of way that could be muddy after rain. There are a few stretches of lane walking. The walk goes through a golf course but not across a fairway.
