Walk 282: Stanstead Abbotts North-East Loop

4.8 miles (7.7 km) with 57m of total ascent

Hollycross Lake at point 17

This is a wonderful walk from the village of Stanstead Abbotts. You will follow the rivers Ash and Lea, walk along a canal towpath, pass nature reserves popular with birdwatchers so take your binoculars, gaze over peaceful lakes, walk along quiet stretches where you can enjoy uninterrupted birdsong, and follow the route of a dismantled railway branch line.
