Made a breakfast decision to go for a walk in Hatfield Forest (National Trust) but were met by a lady who told us that we couldn't go in because we had failed to pre-book by the day before. Not best pleased!
We quickly revised the plan and went to Castle Park in Bishop's Stortford instead, and found a very agreeable place with a riverside walk. It will now go onto the list of regular walks, and it's even very close to the Posh People's Supermarket (Waitrose) although neither of us will be going in there for quite a while.
We arrived a bit too late to see the castle (by several centuries) but there is still a rather fine castle mound:
Later we found a rather steep set of steps on the left, and you could just see the top of some stonework, so there must be some remains up there which I'd quite like to see. But, as the people of Braavos say to the God of Death, "Not today!" Instead we did a circular route by turning right out of the car park, and then the walk along the River Stort on the left. We didn't find the ford, if it still exists. Or a wandering cleric out for a stroll.
