Ford on the Path Between High Cross and Cold Christmas Lane

Highlight • Climb

A worthy shortcut if you wish to get between High Cross and Cold Christmas Lane during spring/summer. Despite being a steep climb northbound, this is less difficult than the evil climb north out of Wadesmill by road, as the land is "tiered", so to speak. Overall though, I'd only do this southbound. Even then, I'd rather come down by road into Thundridge and take Old Church Lane onto Cold Christmas Lane.

Old Thundridge Church Tower

Highlight • Religious Site

Old Thundridge church off Cold Christmas Lane, said be build facing the wrong way. Haunted? Off the road but worth a look.

Wadesmill Village and Countryside Paths

Highlight • Cafe

Nestled to the north of the River Rib, Wadesmill is a pleasant Hertfordshire village. Nearby is the pretty Youngsbury Estate, which boasts countryside so lovely that even the legendary Capability Brown remarked that he needed to do nothing to improve what nature had already brought into being.

If you are walking in the region and require a refuel, the Feathers, a former 17th century coaching inn, serves good food. The Inn is also home to a 30 bedroom hotel.
