18th Henlow Beer Festival

23/10/13

Held at the Engineers Arms public house in Henlow. The pub is about 25 minutes walk from Arlesey station between Hitchin and Biggleswade. I always make use of a public footpath to get there as it is better than walking along a busy road.


Here are some photos taken on the footpath.

a lovely sunny afternoon walk
