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.

Chipperfield to St Albans Abbey Station

Departure from Chipperfield (Hertfordshire)

Starts at Two Brewers Inn, Chipperfield. Passes thru' Kings Langley where we join the Grand Union Canal for a short distance. Then thru' Bedmond & Potters Crouch before descending past the Roman wall into Verulamium Park and past St Albans Cathedral to finish at St Albans Abbey Station.

Chipperfield and the Chess Valley, Chilterns

Departure from Chipperfield (Hertfordshire)

A rewarding, scenic country walk exploring several commons and villages along with an attractive river valley. Good pubs!

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.
