Time: 5h
Warnings: Can be muddy.
Walk details: the Saturday Walkers Club (tips, local insights and turn-by-turn directions).
Stevenage to Baldock
Lovely views around Weston in particular. Mostly footpaths and some urban pavements, leaving the concrete of Stevenage to cross gently rolling countryside on footpaths and bridleways, with a small amount on pavement-less country roads. Fairly flat; surprisingly not too muddy even after rain and though some muddy paths.
Time: 3h30–6h30
Warnings: Some steps onto bridges over roads at the Stevenage end (some with ramps); a small amount of walking on country roads without pavement.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Baldock to Royston
Good views, could be exposed in wind/rain. Pleasant, open, rolling countryside, mainly arable land, skirting little villages with good views. A quiet but very fast road has to be navigated and there are several kissing gates. Start and end stations are on the Finsbury Park to Cambridge line.
Time: 5h–9h30
1 lunch spot: the Fox & Duck
Warnings: A quiet but very fast road must be crossed. Part of the plotted route is not a public right of way and may require a detour.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
