Watling Chase Timberland Trail is a defined National Trail, currently running for about 17 kilometres from Elstree & Borehamwood railway station via Shenley, London Colney, and Colney Heath to Smallford near Hatfield (and some distance from another railway station). It is only currently shown on the Ordnance Survey's 1:25,000 Explorer maps not the 1:50,000 Landranger ones. On top of that the Ordnance Survey describe it as "Watling Chase Trail" on the map and a current Google search on that term confusingly yields a mere 6 hits, compared to the 152 for the full name. At this point the trail follows a public footpath between the extremely well concealed Arsenal FC training ground on the right and the University College London (UCL) sports facilities on the left.
