Ayot St Lawrence is a beautiful little village nestled in the Hertfordshire countryside and we have four wonderful walks on the app for you to enjoy.
If you just want a quick stroll, the app features a short 1 mile stroll around the village that also visits the unique St Lawrence church.
For those of you that want to stretch your legs, we then have 3 more longer route options that are between 3 or 5 miles long and explore the beautiful countryside around the village.
Whichever route you choose, you will be able to look forwards to refreshments in the warm and welcoming Brocket Arms pub in the village.
Parking: Roadside parking in the village
There is a 30 day trial on the app, so you can enjoy any of the 350+ walks for free. Here is an example of the route map for this pub walk.
The map below is ‘Ayot St Lawrence Walk 3’ on the app which is a wonderful adventure from the village that enjoys some beautiful countryside views, whilst building up an appetite for your reward back at the pub.
Hint: If you have a bit more time, try walk 4 which adds an extra loop to walk 3 and takes you through more gorgeous countryside that visits Codicote for a half way refreshments pit stop in the pubs there.

The walk
Ayot St Lawrence Walk
This third walk visits the St Lawrence church again before heading in the opposite direction to the second route. Even though it's a similar distance, it's a more strenuous and exposed walk as you are heading down the big hill towards Codicote Bottom.
Of course, you are rewarded for your efforts with some wonderful views as you walk down and then at the bottom you'll cross the River Mimram and walk along a pretty stretch of tree-lined path that tracks the river for a while.
As you walked down the hill, you obviously then have to walk back up it in the last section of the walk, which will certainly build up an appetite for your refreshments back at the lovely pub in Ayot St Lawrence.
