You'll start a with a peaceful stroll along the River Lee Navigation until you reach the impressive bird watching platform in the Amwell Nature Reserve (take some binoculars for this!).
You'll then head north through beautiful countryside until you walk through the pretty Easneye wood and then embark on an adventure into more open countryside.
This takes you along a section of the Hertfordshire Way, and you'll enjoy some nice views as you go. Finally, you'll walk back to the village of St Margarets where you can enjoy a hot or cold reward in the large riverside pub garden of the Jolly Fisherman pub.

Walker review
Another great walk with loads of variety. We loved the river and the viewing platform for the nature reserve. The trees and countryside in the middle section were beautiful. We appreciated the proper tracks for walking at this time of year.
