Nice historic builing now hosting a restaurant/bar with a relaxed terasse on the upper floor. Good place for a break with a view to enjoy good weather.

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.

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

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.

Waterside Stortford is a 5.6km, flat trail which runs from Bat Willow Hurst Country Park to the north of the town, through the centre here, to just beyond Twyford Mill lock in the south. There are information points throughout the trail providing more information about the features of the trail.

Bishop's Stortford is a large commuter town that expanded rapidly from the Second World War onwards. It's home to the motte-and-bailey castle remains of Waytemore Castle, which stand above the River Stort in the centre of the town. Being an important market town, there are many old pubs, including the timber-framed, 16th-century Black Lion.
