This walking and cycling route takes you from Wheathampstead to Ware via Welwyn Garden City and Hertford, on a mixture of disused railway paths, canal towpath and on-road links.
Some on-road links through Welwyn take you onto the Cole Green Way to Hertford. This rural section is suitable for all users, and is accessible for disabled visitors at various points. There are links at both ends that take walkers and cyclists into Welwyn and Hertford town centres. The link through Hertford joins the towpath along the River Lea, taking you to Ware and beyond. It is signposted through the town centre.
