About us

Berkhamsted Walks and Social welcomes all friends, new and established, to our group. The aim of our group is to provide our members with opportunities to meet people with similar interests and to make new friends who want to get out and about in the local area. We offer three walks per week (two midweek and one weekend) in the surrounding countryside. We also offer a range of other events and have a strong commitment to supporting our local community and local events. We organise film nights, theatre trips, concerts, book club, wine club, pub nights, meals out etc.
We are looking for new, committed hosts with fresh ideas, too, to help our local group grow and develop, offering a range of regular and new events to suit the different interests and tastes of our members.
Some events will have a small cost so that the organiser can cover any expenses but most events will remain free of charge. As walks are our most regular events, we ask members to donate £1 towards our costs.
We ask that all members keep their RSVPs up to date and respect the efforts made by all hosts in offering local and varied events for our enjoyment.
Look forward to you joining us at an event soon!

This is a 9.5 mile walk that should take approx. 4.5 hours. We begin on the Chiltern Way across fields and woodland from the village of Flaunden to the Holy Cross church at Sarratt. We then drop down to cross the River Chess & make our way up to skirt around the village of Chenies & past the Manor gardens. Then in the woods high above the Chess Valley we can stop for a drink/snacks break.
After our break we descend to cross back over the River Chess next to the weir. Taking a scenic path overlooking the lake we pass by Latimer House & circle Tooley’s Croft & Parkfield Wood to make our way into the village of Latimer. A short section of road then a mixture of woodland & tracks take us back to Flaunden where we can stop at The Green Dragon for refreshments.

Please use the Google maps link to find the car park where there is plenty of free parking.

This 5.8 mile walk should be about 2.5 hours long and takes in some great views of the urban landscape, valleys and woodland to the north of the historic town of Berkhamsted. Wide, field-edge paths and woodland paths give plenty of space. After climbing to Frithsden Beeches we walk along a familiar route then on to Coldharbour Farm before a slight descent back to the pathway above Berkhamsted Place. A relatively easy style-free walk on level paths with about 10 gates and just two short uphill sections. After the walk we can enjoy a drink at the Crystal Palace pub. Those needing to leave early can follow the road back to the car park.

The walk begins at the free Canal Fields car park, Broadwater, Berkhamsted, HP4 2AL. The car park is at the end of Broadwater, past the football club and opposite the tennis club. Please be wary of the post code, it is best to use the Google maps link above.

Coffee morning: Nena Craft Bakery, Berkhamsted
Thu, Jan 29 · 10:30 AM GMT
Nena Craft Bakery, 214 High Street, Berkhamsted, GB
This is a relaxed coffee morning from 10.30 to 12.30. You can join us at any time.
Nena Craft Bakery is a family-run business in the heart of Berkhamsted. The address is 214 High Street, Berkhamsted, HP4 1AG.
The best option for parking is the Canal Fields car park which we often use for walks and it is free. However, this can be busy so other options are the car parks next to Tesco or Waitrose which are nearby but pay and display.
I'll try to grab a table to rear of the cafe.

Tom Ripley is a nobody—scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity. But in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads—the freedom, the wealth, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession, and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder.
The ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of The Crown. Bruce Herbelin-Earle from Netflix’s Free Rein is Dickie Greenleaf, and EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith stars as Marge Sherwood.

There is parking provided for theatregoers on the third tier of the Waitrose car park but it's best to arrive early to secure a space.
