Much Hadham Village

Highlight • Historical Site

A quintessential example of a Hertfordshire village, complete with Tudor era houses and village green. A pleasure to roll through! There used to be a fantastic nursery and cafe, but sadly it's closed now. If you want to stop here then the pub is also good, but check opening times.

Downhill westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Turn on the afterburners and fly down the hill as fast as you dare westbound! Hell on earth going uphill eastbound. In hours of darkness during winter, you will likely hear tawny owls calling to each other from the north.
