Baldock Walks

We changed plans on the morning as Eileen had a painful knee and the weather was going to be very warm and the original walk to Bygrave is very exposed. 

Two new people joined us today so 6 of us set off to walk through the Weston hills nature reserve which provides plenty of shade. We walked through to the George 4th pub where we had a relaxing iced coffee/coffee drinks in

the pub garden.

It was a good decision to change plans and the walk was enjoyed by all 

Nine of us enjoyed this pretty walk to Hickman's hill and Green end weston. Red kites were spotted and a small deer too. We enjoyed the autumn colours and quite warm sunshine to start followed by a sharp wind and grey skies. A few people enjoyed a coffee on our return to Baldock. 

Six of us enjoyed this pretty 6.5 mile walk from Baldock to Stotfold Mill. We walked through Ivel Springs nature reserve and then close to Radwell where we crossed an iron bridge and a number of wooden bridges. There was plenty of birdlife as we walked along by the river to the mill just in time for the tea room opening. The delicious cakes and scones are very good value. We enjoyed a walk round the mill which had an open day with plenty of information on offer. 

Saturday 16th November 2024

Ten people met at Tapps garden centre for this 4 mile walk and headed to Warren lane via the airfield. Model planes are regularly flown here at the weekend.

We were lucky with the weather which was milder than predicted but still a little nippy and many of us enjoyed a drink in Tapps cafe after the walk

Eight of us enjoyed an autumnal walk to Radwell, with plenty of stops on the way to enjoy the beautiful colours and views. We walked via Ivel Springs to Radwell village, where Eileen collected two large cooking apples that were being offered outside a door. There were good photo opportunites at the lake and we were fortunate with some sun on the walk. 

We had a short stop on the benches at Radwell near the car park for a drink and break. 

We had perfect weather for our 6 mile walk to Willian. There were eight of us on the walk which was mostly on The Greenway. We enjoyed views of the church as we came into Willian. We had a break for drinks and cake at the Pioneer nursery coffee shop where we sat in the garden which was very relaxing. 

Returning to Baldock we came across some trees with very small pretty red and yellow plums which some of us sampled.

Seven of us walked 7 miles to Fairfield via Ivel Springs and The Greenway. 

We enjoyed cake and a drink at Thornes garden centre. It was a very sociable walk with lots of chatting and laughs along the way.
