Weston, Forster Country and Graveley

This easy circular walk of 6¾ miles explores the lovely fields and woodlands northeast of Stevenage, including Forster Country.

On a fine day there are long-range views all the way to the Chilterns, and in springtime there are masses of bluebells.

In the southern portion of the route, what is now precious urban-fringe countryside will soon be irrevocably lost to mass-development north of Great Ashby, north of Stevenage and east of Graveley.

The walk starts and finishes in the village of Weston, runs along part of the Hertfordshire Way passing through the deserted mediaeval village of Chesfield, and also visits Graveley. There is an optional detour to see more of Forster Country, the open countryside between Graveley and the edge of Stevenage where E. M. Forster spent 10 years of his childhood.
