Join us for a circuit around Hitchin as we take on the HOOP
(Hitchin Outer Orbital Path). We'll use the historic Hambridge Way to access the HOOP which we'll tackle in a clockwise direction. Our route takes us through Ickleford and past Cadwell Lavender Farm before we head up to Wilbury Hill for a morning break. From there we'll head south on the fields between Hitchin and Letchworth where we'll briefly leave the HOOP onto permissive paths for our lunch at the picnic tables in Wymondley Woods. We'll rejoin the HOOP to pass Nine Springs and head through Charlton before dropping into the heart of Hitchin Town Centre for an afternoon break at the historic cobbled Market Place square. We'll hit the home stretch through via Oughtonhead Common Nature Reserve before heading back into Pirton
