A new pocket-sized guide celebrates pubs, local history, and railway journeys along the Hertford Loop Line.
Friends of Gordon Hill Station and Enfield Chase Station Partners—both part of The Enfield Society—are thrilled to announce the launch of the Hertford Loop Line Rail Ale Trail, a free 24-page, full-colour illustrated booklet encouraging locals and visitors alike to explore the vibrant pubs and hidden gems along the railway line from Alexandra Palace to Watton-at-Stone.
Designed to fit easily into a pocket, the beautifully produced guide takes readers on a journey through 12 stations, highlighting top spots for real ale, historic pubs, breweries, taprooms, and community favourites within walking distance of each stop.
The guide features:
- Hand-drawn maps for each station area and local illustrations by Enfield-based artist and educator Kremena Dimitrova (whose public art includes the mural on Platform 2 at Enfield Chase station),
- Expertly curated pub listings with a focus on real ale,
- Local Historical context and walking inspiration.
