Description

Details

Embark on a captivating journey from Garston, winding through Bricket Wood Common, marveling at Lord Knutsford’s exquisite park and manor at Munden, and relishing the charm of the transformed Netherwylde Farm. We'll meander alongside the serene River Colne and River Ver, culminating at the historic Moor Mill Inn.

Our trail predominantly adheres to the Ver Valley Walk arrows, guiding us through enchanting woods brimming with blackberries, beside tranquil lakes, and along the mesmerizing River Ver, ultimately leading us to Park Street.

Marvel at St Albans Abbey – an architectural gem built using bricks from the Roman town, which in ancient times, was a refuge for bandits.

Experience the magic of the Clock Tower. Each of the 93 steps of its spiral staircase unveils a piece of its rich history. Your ticket grants you an all-access pass.
