John Clare Walk
'Using Ordnance Survey maps and following carefully set routes the John Clare Walk evokes a spirit of this remarkable poet’s trek, passing through the Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire landscape. Much has changed since Clare’s day, the landscape unrecognisable, and part of the 21st century challenge is to follow strict public paths, restricted fields, and new urban areas, once common open land, now a cement landscape.'
