Loved it. Beautiful view of church.

Walker review

Very muddy! Please take care on certain parts of the walk, but overall enjoyable short walk

Walker review

Did this as a quick walk with our 6 year old as a local area we’d never been to before. Nice little walk around the village, partly street walking on pavement then turns down a narrow alley next to the village hall onto field. Small car park at start, nice little swing park that my boy enjoyed.

The second route option is basically much the same as the first walk with some open countryside, the church and stroll through Datchworth Green with it's lovely pubs. However, this route also ventures out into the open countryside to the south of the village, to make this walk a bit longer overall.

Lovely walk, mostly along paths but very muddy! Definitely need boots. The Plough was very friendly and dogs welcome

Part of the route was flooded, so had to divert further out but managed to get back to the original route further along

Time

Route type
Circular

If you really want to stretch your legs and explore the countryside around the village of Datchworth Green, then this third route option is the best choice for you. This walk is much longer and basically takes you on a large loop through the countryside and woodlands that you'll find between Datchworth and Watton at Stone.

If you head anticlockwise, the lovely pubs in Datchworth Green will be towards the end of the walk and there is an optional detour into Watton-at-Stone for some more pubs to sample.

Walker review

Really lovely walk. First half on good stoney tracks and 2nd half on grass tracks. Just one section was really wet and sticky. Didn’t necessary need wellies if you have a good pair of walking boots. Really peaceful walk with very little other people. Met a few cyclists. Would do the walk again.

Walker review

Fantastic walk on a dry cold December day, took 2hr 30mins and we finished of at the Datchworth Coffee shop for coffee and homemade cake , highly recommended!

Walker review

Did thos walk after a very wet spell, some parts of the route was churned up as shared with horses. Enjoyed the walk, fabulous views. Recommend.

Walker review

Some sections were very exposed to the sun, with roads and tracks. A cloudy day walk.
