Walks And Walking Broxbourne Woods NNR Trail Hertfordshire Walking Route
Broxbourne Woods National Nature Reserve comprises four woods: Bencroft, Broxbourne, Hoddesdonpark and Wormley and are all perfect walking routes. All of the woods are ancient, despite the fact that recent research suggests the location was Roman (or pre-Roman) agricultural land that was abandoned then re-colonised by trees.
The area’s animal life includes badgers, weasels, grass snakes and Muntjac deer; as well as the woods are also residence to woodpeckers, woodcock, tree creepers, hawfinches, buzzards and sparrowhawks. Twenty-seven species of butterfly have been recorded at the web-site, including grizzled skippers, white admirals and purple hairstreaks.
Our walk right now started at the car park at Bencroft Wood East on White Stubbs Lane where we headed down the track just to the left of the Broxbourne Woods National Nature Reserve (NNR) Trail info board. We then turned left at the main track where we discovered the signs for The Hertfordshire Way plus the Broxbourne NNR pinned to each and every waymarker. There are actually a lot of well maintained signposts, bridelways, waymarkers and tracks on this walk which created it particularly straightforward to follow.
So, contiuing to follow The Hertfrodshire Way and Broxbourne Woods NNR signs we walked via the woodland forest untiol we reached the pathway on our left just prior to the road which lead slightly uphill until we reach White Stubbs Lane where we turned suitable and walked a short distance to get the signpost on our left on to The Hertfordshire Way (THW) which crosses meadows and a variety of kissing gates following the natural pathway we diagonally crossed the field and by means of a gap in the hedges where we discovered a little fenced in pond housing a multitude of geese, ducks and turkeys! We then turned right on to the road and walked a short distance just before turning left back in to meadows to continue along THW along with the NNR signs ending up by yet one more kissing gate which headed down to a footbridge and dense woodland. We then turned suitable by a signpost which had 9 options on it and along THW and NNR by way of a dense pine forest which zig zags, turns and bends until we reach a t-junction of paths where we turned left and up and along the neighbouring Danemead Wood on our ideal. Entering Danemead Nature Reserve we continued along the most important pathway crossing a ford and continued along this track prior to turning left at the end and up and around to our proper until we reached a gate and sign for Hoddesdon Park Wood by Lord Street.
Here we turned left past the East Herts Equestrian Centre and past the pub at Goose Green plus a small automobile park just before we found the next NNR and public footpath on our left and by way of a kissing gate and across meadows at Highfield Farm. We continued to follow the grassy track that kept the forest on our left hand side untiol we reached a little road past some substantial farm buildings where we then turned left at the fork to cross much more meadows. Following the obvious pathway we then reached Bourne Orchard on our left just before entering the Celtic Harmony Camp which is…. fundamentally, just a field. Soon after we found a myriad of signposts we turned left to cross meadowland until we reached the outskirts of Cowheath Wood and continued to follow the Broxbourne Woods NNR signs.
We then entered the dense pine and woodland forest and crossed over a different pathway to continue straight down until we found a fork in our path where we turned perfect until we then reached a footbridge and rejoin the original pathway from earlier back to the car park. Heading uphill through the meadow and kissing gate we crossed the road and entered Elysium House via meadows to turn suitable at White Stubbs Lane at the very welcome sign for The Woodman country pub and then correct again back to the automobile park opposite Two Model Cottages.
