Take the back streets from Hertford East station to the junction of Ware Road and Stanstead Road.
Cross over, go up Stanstead Road a short way and turn right into Foxholes Avenue and follow this to the end. A footpath goes straight ahead past a small playground and through some woodland and into some rough grassland. Take the right fork and follow the path through a tunnel under the A414, through a kissing gate, across a field and over a stile to the lane leading to Foxholes Farm.
Turn left and walk up to the farm complex, turn right after the animal feed store, through a kissing gate next to a small nursery, and take the field path up towards Hertford Heath - lovely views back over the town.
After the kissing gate onto the London Road, turn left to go up to Hertford Heath village centre, cross the green in front of the The Goat PH and follow Mount Pleasant along to the woods. Take the right fork and follow the metalled road for 100m or so, then at some wooden bollards on the left, take the path through the woods, past a pond, till you join another path running along the edge of the wood.
Keep the same direction through the woods to the grounds of Haileybury School, and turn left past the all-weather sports pitches. There is a wood to the right of the path. Turn right onto the path in front of the wood and carry on through the school grounds to Hailey Lane.
Cross Hailey Lane and follow the footpath sign across the fields to Wollens Brook. There are several kissing gates along the way and a stile at the end.
Turn left onto the road going under the A10, then right immediately onto a footpath that after 50m comes out onto a field with fine views to the left over Hoddesdon. Follow this keeping the A10 on your right, across a new housing site road, through a wood and then through a couple of tunnels under the big Dinant Link road going into the town.
The path comes out on Lord Street. Turn left, and then, after 50m, take a path on the right that goes into the magnificent Barclay Park. Turn left and walk along the path along the edge of the park, enjoying the sweep of the landscape, till you arrive at the road Park View.
Cross over and continue into Brocket Road, past Aldi and Iceland till you reach the High Street. Turn left and walk along the High Street to the destination
