Nick Hindle added Roybun two, a new walk from Royston (Herts) to Buntingford
Walk this routeThis route passes through some beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, and shares some sections of long distance footpaths such as the Icknield Way and Chain Walk. The route alternates between open rolling countryside and covered footpaths (please see photo's), which makes things comfortable if it's very hot or very wet....
Nick Hindle
I don't think the previous reviewer followed the slow ways suggested route - since part of it is NOT a public right of way (see survey) and necessitated a 1.5 mile detour. However, it is pleasant, open, rolling countryside. Mainly arable land, skirting little villages, good views, could be exposed in wind/rain....

The route starts from Royston station and proceeds on a pavement beside a busy A road for about a mile and a half - there are a few large roundabouts to cross which do not have pedestrian crossings. After this the route is on a pavement beside a quiet country road leading through the village of Melbourn which is very picturesque and has a number of options for refreshments e.g. Once in Foxton the route leads on the pavement through the village up to the railway station where the route ends....
