You'll first walk through the pretty village of Ayot Green and then head off on an amble along the Ayot Greenway disused railway path for a while before looping back around through some woodland and into the Brocket Hall park.
You'll then walk around the lovely park visiting the photogenic bridge and lake before heading out of the park to the north and back to the pub for your reward.
Please Note: There is a golf course in the park, and the public footpaths sometimes cross fairways, so please be respectful of golfers, stick to the route and look out for flying balls!

Pretty flat apart from a tricky and potentially muddy when wet, incline coming on to the Brocket Hall estate. Crossing the golf course was a breeze. ...
Walker review
Lovely walk with lots of bluebells en route. Varied scenery. Ok with small kids who can run off some energy.

Nice walk. A few spots to eat and drink.
Walker review
There are no significant landmarks available on the map to ensure you are on the right route,so initially it was a little confusing. Once you get used to the map it was straightforward.
Walker review
This is one of my favourite walks. Lots of beautiful trees along the way so a great autumn walk. We once did it in winter when there was an impassable muddy section so woukd stick to drier seasons. You do need to be wary on the golf course but most of the golfers seem mindful of walkers. This time we discovered the refreshment cabin - with toilet - a bonus!
Walker review
Really lovely walk with fantastic views at Brocket Hall and a great stop enroute for beer, tea and cake at the Palmerston Lounge on the golf course
