Скачать или смотреть NHRG e-walks, e-walk 62, Kimpton Circular. 18/8/22

This was a very pleasant 10.8 mile circular of the Hertfordshire village of Kimpton, courtesy of North Herts Ramblers again. It was a humid, late, summer afternoon of partial sun and cloud.
The walker sets off in an anti-clockwise direction, walking alongside field edges and down quiet lanes before a welcome section of cool woodland cover.
Then, there's a section of walking on the Lea Valley Walk, below the former Wheathampstead - Welwyn Garden City rail line, prior to more field crossings and a tree-clad byway for lunch at the Old Church, Ayot St Lawrence. This village was the former home of the playwright, Bernard Shaw.
Thereafter, it's more field edge paths and byways to the former mill at Kimpton, on the river Mimram.
The finale is more of the same, with one large field crossing for the descent into Kimpton.
Good path surfaces today, after an overnight downpour, and even a few puddles. Would be very different during the winter months, of course, with a few field trudges possible.
