Enjoying, Protecting and Enhancing Footpaths around St Albans
Walks
We always walk on Thursdays and sometimes on Sundays, though we have no Sunday walks planned at the moment. All walks start at 10am.
There are two walks to choose from on Thursdays – one at up to 5.5 miles and one at 6 or 7 miles.
Our members are welcome to join Sunday walks offered by the
Mid Herts Footpaths Society (details of these are sent to our members by email). When we are able to offer Sunday walks we offer them to Mid Herts members.
Our walks often end with a pub lunch, which is optional.
