Etonbury Green Wheel

Loops 17km around Arlesey and Stotfold on mostly flat Bedfordshire farmland with gentle riverside sections along the River Hiz. Suitable for families and older children capable of the distance, though uneven field paths make buggy-pushing challenging in wet conditions. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for big skies, quiet countryside surprisingly close to the A1, and a proper leg-stretch that connects villages, nature reserves and historical sites without serious climbs.

Kingfisher Way

Winds through gently undulating terrain with occasional moderate inclines, mostly on well-maintained paths and bridleways. Suitable for families with older children who can manage longer distances, though uneven sections make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome and will love the varied landscape. Offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities along waterways and through mixed woodland, with the namesake kingfishers occasionally visible near streams and ponds if you're patient and quiet.

Hicca Way

Traces an ancient ridgeway path across Hertfordshire's gentle chalk hills with steady, moderate climbs through mixed farmland and woodland. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven surfaces, stiles, and field edges. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers sweeping rural views, historical interest as a pre-Roman trackway, and quiet countryside immersion away from busy trails—ideal for those seeking a less-trampled route with genuine heritage beneath your boots.
