Explore the landscape so familiar to George Bernard Shaw. You’ll travel on easy tracks to the River Lea. Turning from the river, we will head into brocket Park, home to Lady caroline Lamb. The walk ends at Ayot Green and St Peter. We shall be joined by Peter Briercliffe, history enthusiast and local rambler as our guest walker.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was a playwright, activist and critic. Born in Ireland, he moved to London in 1876 becoming a member of the Fabian Society and the famed playwright of Arms and the Man (1894) and Man and Superman (1903).
Along with Bob Dylan he remains the only winner of both an Oscar and a Nobel Prize . He settled in Hertfordshire in 1906, making it his
home for over 40 years.
It is part of the British Schools Museum's Dreamers, Radicals & Satirists season. The ticket includes £1 off an entry ticket to the museum (T&Cs apply).
Children must be accompanied by an adult. At 7+ miles, this is the longest walk, it crosses country with some minor road walking. The terrain is fairly easy and we shall meet up at Ayot St Lawrence at 9am and anticipate finishing by 1pm. Joining instructions will be sent before the walk.
