Furze Field

Chain Walk Bayford Area Herts Coming down from Bayford or Little Berkhamsted this footpath takes you alongside a stream to the Lower Hatfield Road. From time to time swallow holes open up in the woodland to the south and the stream disappears down them. Hence it is a dry stream bed in this photo. The warning sign has been put on the footbridge by some wag as the quarry on Bunkers Hill has long been closed.
