The Wheathampstead Heritage Trails aim to highlight the amazing local history of this district and encourage people to get out there and enjoy it.
All of the walks start at the free parking in the centre of Wheathampstead and pass several places where food and drinks can be found.
There is one Village Centre walk and six walks further afield. Each of these is briefly described below with a link to the page giving details of the walk plus an interactive map so you can preview the heritage from the comfort of your home. Each page also provides a printable download - making it easy to navigate each of the walks. Printed copies of these guides are available from the Parish Office, the village library, and several shops.
