Walk 123: Aspenden South-West Loop

6 miles (9.7 km) with 86m of total ascent


The Roman road Stane Street between points 7 and 8
The Roman road Stane Street between points 7 and 8
This walk is rich in history. It includes a 1.5 km stretch along Stane Street, a Roman road which is now a tree-lined byway. The route also passes the site of the former medieval village of Wakeley. It starts and finishes in the village of Aspenden where refreshments can be taken at The Fox when open.

We have archived this walk temporarily because of an issue with one of the pubic rights of way that has become impassable. Hertfordshire County Council's Rights of Way team has been notified and once the issue is resolved we will unarchive the walk. Another walk which crosses this junction is Walk 100: Cottered South Loop which has also been archived temporarily. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Tried this walk today, fabulous, a nice, easy going walk even after the heavy rain we experienced last night. Finished with a super lunch in The Fox. Well done

    I did this walk today with a good friend. The directions were really good. The only place we changed direction was at 6 (the signpost had been removed) to avoid going across the field with crops, we walked around. Pretty muddy in places, but we had good boots on! Very welcoming landlord at The Fox.

      Hi Pat,
      Yes, I remember the part between points 6 & 7 being fairly muddy when we did the walk. We didn't try The Fox, I think because we were too early. Was it good?

    My wife and I walked this yesterday and it was a very pleasant walk indeed. Finished off with afternoon tea at the Westmill Tea Room, which I highly recommend as a great way to finish the day! Around 20 minutes walk from the finish, or a five minute drive.

    Many thanks to The Hertfordshire Walker team for all of the excellent guides!
