Today's Pilgrims setting out on this trail will pass through some of Bedfordshire's most attractive and scenic countryside.
Trail Walkers
The Trailwalkers are planning an exciting new series of walks across the length and breadth of Hertfordshire. Every second Tuesday of the month, starting in August, we'll be walking 10-12 miles along these routes, starting from the south of the county. We share cars for these linear walks.
If you'd like to consider joining us, why don't you come to our next walk, the Hitchin HOOP, which is 12 miles? We're starting from and finishing in Ickleford: it's at 9.30 on Tuesday 14 July, new members are warmly welcome.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Nigel B, the Group Contact via trailwalkers@lalg.org.uk.

A circular walk along the Ayot Greenway and by the River Lea before returning through Brocket Park and followed by a Christmas lunch at the Red Lion pub nearby.
In 2024 we completed the Icknield Way Path, which may be the oldest road in England, and which runs from Ivinghoe Beacon, through Letchworth Garden City and into Cambridgeshire and ultimately Norfolk.
It was a windy and wet Spring day when we started the Icknield Way Path, walking up Ivinghoe Beacon, from its junction with the ancient Ridgeway. Normally we would have had extensive views as we walked along the ridge of Dunstable Downs. But the gliders were all tethered down and even a kite flyer would have risked losing control.
March - September 2023
From March to August 2023 we walked the northern sections. We started at Barton-le-Clay and walked in a clockwise direction around the Chiltern Way to Flamstead. From there we cut across to rejoin the Chiltern Way near Ashridge Forest and finished up at Sharpenhoe Clappers.
September 2021 - December 2022
We started the Hertfordshire Way in Little Wymondley in September 2021 in pouring rain, and finished there in December 2022 in deep snow and heavy frost! 195 miles in total over 15 legs.
Anyone for “tennish”
The route takes us from Broxbourne to Cuffley, starting at the bottom of Mill Lane in Broxbourne, going along beside the New River and then plunging in to Hertfordshire’s only National Nature Reserve, for a great deal of the walk.
12 miles, 1 pub
The LALG trailwalkers met again to continue our goal of walking the Hertfordshire Way, piece by piece.
Back on the trail
This stage takes in 3 different rivers, tributaries of the River Lea, the Beane, Rib and Ash to eventually meet-up with the River Lea itself in Hertford.
Sculptures, Georgian Splendour and Tapestry
A varied walk from Bishops Stortford to Widford taking in open countryside, Henry Moore and the beautiful village of Much Hadham...
Big Skies, Big fields
We were soon walking across farmland and were treated to fantastic views across large ploughed arable fields. It was a day of big fields and big blue skies...
A tale of four churches
What really strikes anyone walking in this part of Hertfordshire are the amazing Churches, nearly all utilising flint in their construction, some with evidence of late Saxon architecture, Norman naves and big, solid towers...
In the footsteps of our ancestors
The intrepid LALG trailwalkers group are continuing the process of walking the Hertfordshire Way (a bit like walking versions of Ewan & Charlie, we are doing the walk “the wrong way round”).
The rain it raineth…
The recently re-started LALG trailwalkers group have managed 3 walks in utterly glorious weather, over the past few months. It had to change I suppose...
Walking the Hitchin Outer Orbital Path
Another glorious day beckons, the sun is out with just a few fluffy cumulus clouds dotting the sky...
Adventures with the LALG Trailwalkers - “We stoop to conquer”
Apologies to Oliver Goldsmith for abusing the title of his classic comedy, but it was a chance too good to miss.
