Other walks in the area

A Sense of Dacorum

Departure from Dacorum (Hertfordshire)

This walk demonstrates that modern Hemel Hempstead and its environs have much more to offer than cynics would have you believe.

From Hemel Hempstead station

Departure from Dacorum (Hertfordshire)

Starting from Hemel Hempstead Station this is a walk which can be enjoyed without a car. The station is right on the edge of the town so virtually all the route is through the open country, much of it through Boxmoor Trust land, on the plateau of the Chilterns and along the Grand Union Canal. There are lots of reminders of the history of the area from 1594 through WWII. If you are lucky you may see a couple of rare farm breeds kept on Trust land and some interesting birds along the canal.

Hertfordshire Mansions and Parklands - From Great Gaddesden

Departure from Great Gaddesden (Hertfordshire)

This walk is over the undulating plateau of the Chiltern dip slope, through the parklands of some of the 18th Century mansions which dot the Chilterns. Although the land is now more given over to arable agriculture, the landscape is still greatly influenced by the great designers, including Capability Brown. A walk with great views over the Gade valley and a revelation of the life style of baronets and local squires in the 1700s and the lesser houses of their tenants.

From Great Gaddesden to Little Gaddessden

Departure from Great Gaddesden (Hertfordshire)

This walk explores some of the hamlets of the Chilterns which, although close to Hemel Hempstead retain their remoteness in their quiet locations. It goes over the typical chalk uplands of the Gade valley and up to the beechwoods of the National Trust Ashridge estate. It passes charming 17th century cottages, a vineyard, a Buddhist Temple and long established churches. The country truly merits its AONB designation.

Berkhamsted to Frithsden with the Devil's Own

Departure from Berkhamsted (Hertfordshire)

A walk through lovely Chiltern scenery with lots of interest on the way - a Norman Castle, WW1 trenches, a vineyard, canal and more.

Great Gaddesden from Jockey End

Departure from Great Gaddesden (Hertfordshire)

This short Hertfordshire walk explores the pleasant countryside to the south east of Jockey End and follows the Hertfordshire Way to descend into the Gade Valley and the village of Great Gaddesden. The return route leaves the valley following the Chiltern Way for the return to the start.
