Hertford is a charming market town and is at the confluence of four rivers, so providing a proliferation of bridges and underpasses to keep you entertained! Happy Herts will be running day 2 on Sunday 26th October in historic St Albans, well known for its Roman remains and having an excellent museum and cathedral. Details of day 2 can be found on the HH website.
