Description

Exit Harpenden station through the main ticket office and go down the hill to Station Road and turn left into town.
At the Harpenden Arms pub, turn left and walk along the common. This leads to East Common golf course (the footpath goes through this).
After a mile or so, you will reach Ayres End Lane. Turn left onto this until you reach the railway. Straight after the bridge, turn right into Heartwood Forest.
Follow the footpath next to the railway to the end and then turn left (near Cheapside Farm) and follow the footpath for half a mile until you get to a gate on the left.
Go through this and then into Langley Wood and turn right at the end and follow the footpath downhill to Sandridge village.
Turn right through the village (passing a couple of pubs) and then stay on the St Albans Road up the hill. When you get to the traffic lights, keep going straight, past the King William pub.
Take the first left onto Lancaster Road and then the first right onto Battlefield Road (these roads were named after the Battle of the Roses). Go to the end of the road, cross Sandpit Land and head up Lemsford Road.
At the second zebra crossing, take the footpath on the left, over the railway and enter Clarence Park. Then follow the railway line to the Station and the end of this section

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
