Vintage Petrol Pumps of Dane End

Highlight • Historical Site

They are hefty chunks of metal, but there's a delicacy about them that reminds me of a finely crafted clock! Amazing they`ve survived so well, with all the glass still intact.

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.

Dolly's of Datchworth

Highlight • Cafe

Highlight! I recommend this cafe for a stop to replenish food and drink levels. Section out the back where you can sit in the Winter and keep bikes secure.
