Bridleway Crossing Essendon Golf Course

Essendon is a pretty village situated above the valley of the River Lea. It lies on the route of the Hertfordshire Way long-distance trail. To rest your weary legs after a long day's walk, the Rose & Crown pub serves excellent food. To the east of the village is the Essendon Country Club, which is home to a golf course and hosts a range of other events.

The Candlestick Pub

Highlight • Rest Area

Lovely views but I haven't eaten here for a while so I'm not recommending the pub.

Singletrack Through Grassy Fields

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Riding south to north, this is a really nice descent. Make sure you notice the start of the path, otherwise you'll continue down to a dead end and have to climb back up. Not a major annoyance though and definitely worth the acceleration down hill.

Lansdowne Hardy's Valley Farm Village Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Nice village shop that also sells pastries and snacks, few seats inside, nice place for a break!
