The Itinerary1. The Hike: Hatfield Forest
We will begin our morning at 6:30AM to enjoy the forest at its quietest and most atmospheric.
Hatfield Forest is a remarkably well-preserved ancient Royal Hunting Forest, featuring 1,000-year-old oak trees, open plains, and a stunning Georgian lake. Arriving early gives us the best chance to spot the resident wild fallow deer herd grazing in the morning mist.
2. The Post-Hike Picnic
Before heading to the farm, we will gather near the green for an outdoor breakfast picnic. Please note this is a Bring Your Own breakfast event. Remember to pack your own morning flask, cold drinks, sandwiches, or pastries, along with a picnic blanket or outdoor mat to sit on.
3. Fruit Picking: Cammas Hall Farm
Following our picnic, we will take a short 10-minute drive down the road to the beautiful Cammas Hall Farm. Here, you will have the opportunity to pick your own ultra-fresh fruit straight from the fields. Depending on seasonal availability, crops typically include strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Booking essential
