Lea Valley Walk
Harpenden to Hatfield, Herts. Wed 4 Apr 2018
Some more from St Helen's Church, Wheathampstead
A memorial to the man who wrote the book about Scott's Arctic exploration
Outside was a memorial to a man who died in 1722 with he same name
as my eldest brother (who died around 1965)
I took a walk around the 'village' while the others were still finishing
their lunches
Apparently there used to be 27 pubs here. There are now two in the
centre of the village. By the River Lea is a
steak house, The Miller & Carter, which also has a sign calling
itself 'The Bull'
and The Swan.
Some of the former pub buildings remain, including this shop.
We left Wheathampstead going past this green shed beside the River
Lea
and through an area of parkland
but were soon in angling country again, the public footpath a short
distance from the meandering river
A tunnel took us under the B653
and the path lead through the fields
and back close to the river, though again the land beside it is private
considerable meandering on this stretch
with the river sometimes close to the path
The path climbs up a hill
