Sherrardspark Wood Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A bridleway from Welwyn Garden town centre out towards Ayot Green through Sherrardspark Wood. The surface can get a little muddy in the winter so a gravel or cx bike would be recommended but in the drier months a touring bike would be fine. When you exit the woods by the Red Lion pub you can link up with the Ayot Greenway cycle path via a short quiet road stint through Ayot Green, this then takes you all the way to Wheathampstead
