The Hertfordshire Way is a 194 mile circular route along public rights-of-way within the County of Hertfordshire. Our new guidebook divides the route into 16 sections, or 'legs', each making up a comfortable day's walk of about 12 miles (shortest is 11, longest 15). Wherever possible we have chosen places with some public transport access for the end points of each leg. However, anyone willing to spend a bit of time studying the maps and timetables, or able to use two cars, can choose different starting and finishing points. The route has been chosen to pass through a variety of Hertfordshire scenery, mostly in open countryside but also passing through some of our more interesting and attractive villages. Hertford and St Albans, as the County Town and main historic centre respectively, are the only large towns on the route.
