About this walk

A new country park and nature reserve on the historic Panshanger Estate between Hertford and Welwyn Garden City. Currently 250 acres of the park are open to the public. This includes open access fields and marked trails through historic woodland and alongside the beautiful River Mimram. Dogs are welcome, but owners are respectfully asked to please help protect the natural wildlife and grazing livestock by keeping all dogs on a lead in the nature reserve and in the fields with grazing sheep. When the sheep are not in the fields, dogs are able to run free. Free car parking and a dog waste bin are available at the Thieves Lane car park on the Hertford side of the park.

(This information was updated in conjunction with the manager of Panshanger Park)

Added: The car park is no longer free.

Lovely place, especially by the river which has shallow entrances perfect for my older boy as he could have a paddle. First visit today will definitely go back.

So disappointed. Hight restrictions no van can park☹☹☹that's discrimination, and there is no other car park near by. Useless. I drove for 40 min just to come back after 5 min. So so angry🤬🤬🤬🤬

A fantastic walk! Fields, trails & water! Perfect for a Cocker Spaniel. Plenty of parking, although alarmed when we arrived and saw signs asking to pay £2.50 to park. I didn’t have my purse so I couldn’t pay, but just be warned!

easy to park, variety of walks. Wooded areas & grass land totally safe for the dogs.

Brilliant and safe place for Dog walk. Take a lead with as sometime cows on field. Access to steams, lake and lots of space for your dog to run

This place is huge, so plan your route before heading out of the car park. Very nice, easy walk. At least one place for dogs to have a paddle. Paths are well maintained.
