The village of Great Wymondley is actually smaller than neighbouring Little Wymondley, owing its title to the fact it was there first, rather than its size. Its parish contains two scheduled monuments: Wymondley Roman Villa and Great Wymondley Castle, the earthworks of a former motte and bailey fortress. After a hike in the Hertfordshire countryside, the Green Man pub is a good option for a refuel.
