The Ayot Green Way runs between Welwyn Garden City and Wheathampstead. The Green Way was once part of the Luton to Welwyn Garden City single track railway line which was finally closed in 1966. This line was a passenger and commercial link, not only for the hat and motor industries in Luton but also for rural passengers including George Bernard Shaw who lived in Ayot St Lawrence. Starting in Welwyn Garden City, the well-surfaced Green Way heads to Wheathampstead through pretty woodland and rolling open fields.  Pack a drink and sandwich and join us for this beautiful, tranquil ride in the lovely Hertfordshire countryside.
