エルセナムでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Accessing from Ugley Green, the narrow entrance to the bridleway can be easily missed and may also not seem that appealing at first, but the bridleway widens considerably and offers scenic views.

Sign and view on the Filtch Way, next to the entrance into Hatfield Forest.

Need to pay for car entrance at the National Trust forest. Check opening times as they can stop letting cars in after a certain time.

Bought a coffee from the National Trust cafe and sat near to the lake in Hatfield Forrest.

Yeomans cafe has a gate at the back to a small outside area for your bike but you'll probably have to ask to unlock.

Insure the gates are closed after you, watch out for sudden dips and holes if you’re riding cross-country and take your time.

Uppers Coffee by the roundabout at the end of the high street is a good place for a refuel stop.

Hatfield Forest is an ancient royal hunting forest, and considered to be one of the best-preserved medieval forests in the world. In the past, deer were kept in the forest for hunting. Today you'll find deer aplenty still, though no longer pursued for the same reason. The forest boasts ancient trees, over 3,500 species of fungi, rare insects and a diverse array of birdlife. There's also a beautiful lake, café and river that meanders through.
