The Cole Green Way and Panshanger Park

This is an easy circular walk of 5 miles, exploring Green Belt countryside in East Hertfordshire and Welwyn Hatfield Districts.

The walk passes Birchall Wood where there are lovely bluebells, takes in part of the Cole Green Way which occupies the route of the former Hertford and Welwyn Junction railway, and visits Panshanger Park, reopened to the public after extensive gravel extraction.

The walk starts and finishes in the Cole Green Way car park between Cole Green and Letty Green, just south of the A414 between Welwyn Garden City and Hertford. The turning for the car park and picnic area is close to the Cowper Arms pub and adjacent to the former railway bridge.
