North of Hertford proposed as a site for a new quarry

This 3.1 mile circular walk was originally devised by CPRE Herts' former Chairman David Irving and revised by Trustee Eliza Hermann.
The walk starts and finishes at the car park for Waterford Heath Nature Reserve, which is on Vicarage Lane just east of the railway line.
The walk is also easily accessible by public transport. From Hertford North rail station walk 1 mile to the northeast through Bengeo to the junction of Sacombe Road and Wadesmill Road, and begin the circular walk from there.
Although the walk is mostly level and there are no stiles, there are a few short ascents and descents and one set of steps.
Throughout 2018, our walk each month will feature the corresponding site in our "Countryside Under Threat" calendar. Our aim is to highlight these sites and raise their profile in aid of local campaigns to prevent their inappropriate development.
