A peaceful woodland stroll, a charming village pub and the chance to spot deer in historic parkland make these walks from Old Knebworth a wonderfully relaxing way to spend a few hours outdoors. Both routes are easy to enjoy, with the longer option adding an extra touch of grandeur.

Time
2 hours
Route type
Circular

This second route option also enjoys the woodland and visit to Old Knebworth.

However, this route takes you on an extra loop of walking on the public footpaths that pass through the gorgeous Knebworth park.

If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the resident Red and Sika Deer within Knebworth Park. Please respect these beautiful animals, keep dogs on a lead, and also stick to the public footpaths on your walk through the park.

Walker review

Great, varied and interesting walk. This has to be one of our favourites so far. Good for dog walking although they do have to be on the lead in the deer park. A couple of gates would make it a bit tricky with a buggy. Public Toilets/cafe are at the 2.4 miles mark. As the walk description stated, there is limited parking at the start but it was empty when we arrived in mid week. Definitely a recommended walk.
