Samuel Ryder Trail
The Samuel Ryder Trail is an exciting insight into Samuel Ryder. Many are well aware of his golfing achievements surrounding the Ryder Cup however this trail focuses on the Samuel achievement as the religious leader, the politician and the family man well before he ever discovered golf.
The trail below is best used as you walk around St Albans, however it still makes an interesting read even if you are not currently in St Albans.
