Barkway and Reed

This circular walk of just under 5 miles explores the rural countryside around the village of Barkway in North Hertfordshire.

The route also takes in the village of Reed with its Saxon church. Between the two historic villages there are small fields with areas of woodland, winding green lanes and remnants of old common land. Our route also includes a short detour to enjoy the fine views from the chalk escarpment into Cambridgeshire to the north.
