Bencroft and Wormley Woods

This is a circular walk of just under 4½ miles through well-wooded countryside in Broxbourne Borough.

Our route starts and finishes in Bencroft Wood West car park and runs through several wooded habitats of national and international significance. This includes Bencroft and Wormley Woods, part of Hertfordshire’s only National Nature Reserve (NNR).

The woodlands are very peaceful, and full of interest at all times of the year. Visit in spring to enjoy drifts of bluebells, in summer in search of butterflies, and in autumn to savour spectacular foliage. In winter the rides and glades are sheltered from the wind and with no leaves on the trees, the birds might be easier to spot.
