ハットフィールドブロードオークのおすすめツーリングルート

Large outdoor seating area with plenty of room for bikes through the archway. Open from 12pm, Wed-Sun.

This gets very wet and muddy at times of the year. In December I just about got through on an MTB.

Ride westbound for the downhill. Deceptively tiring eastbound, especially the first half, followed by a slight uphill grade which doesn't let your legs recover.

A more peaceful way of getting into/out of the west of Old Harlow. It is a bit up and down and in winter, the ruts in the surface can be hidden by mashed-up detritus from the trees.

Whichever direction you take this, you have one gut-busting climb to do, but overall I think southbound is the best way. You get the climb immediately out of the way and are downhill or level for the rest of the ride. Heading northbound is fine until after the S-bend, then bring the pain up to Little Hallingbury FP 18.

Typical information board and view along the Filtch Way.

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