St Albans Museum walk named among England's best

Summarised from The Comet's report · Updated 24 Oct, 13:27 · Archive

A circular walking route from St Albans Museum has been named the best walk in Hertfordshire by The Telegraph.

Travel writer Sarah Baxter has selected the St Albans Museum circular walking route as the best walk in Hertfordshire, as part of The Telegraph's selection of the best walks in every English county. Baxter said she sought 'to seek out a route that not only offers an enjoyable stroll, but that says a little something about the county it is representing'.

The walk takes around one hour with a total distance of 4.3km and an elevation gain of 67m. Starting at St Albans Museum and Gallery, walkers head to the medieval Clock Tower before proceeding through Waxhouse Gate towards the cathedral. The route then enters Verulamium Park, where Roman remains including a mosaic, hypocausts and segments of city walls can still be seen. St Albans was the site of Verulamium, the third-largest Roman settlement in Britain, founded in AD 50.
