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.

One of the trainers was Kim Philby, later to become known as a double agent spying for the Soviet Union.
