This Ayot Greenway takes you down a dismantled railway line. The line first opened in 1860 and was operable for more than 100 years. Passenger numbers declined sharply after the Second World War and all services finally ended by 1966. Today, there are still visual reminders of the line, with two bridges still intact, the original fencing and even part of a collapsed railway signal.
You can connect this walk to many others making this a longer hiking adventure and an explore. Especially if you are starting or ending your trek in Wheathampstead, you wont be stuck for food stop over options.
