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!

Our Land
91 minutesA thoughtful and quietly rousing documentary exploring Britain’s growing right-to-roam movement and the debate over who truly has access to the countryside.
Director Orban Wallace follows campaigners pushing for broader public access to land in England and Wales, inspired by Scotland’s long-established outdoor access laws. Rather than framing the issue as a straightforward battle between protesters and wealthy landowners, the film takes a wider view, speaking to walkers, activists and rural landowners with sharply differing opinions about ownership, tradition and public space.
Alongside the political discussion, Wallace captures the eccentric energy of the movement itself, from peaceful mass trespasses to surreal gatherings involving Morris dancers and folk-inspired celebrations in open fields. The deeper emotional connection many people feel towards nature and shared landscapes comes through in conversations and contrasting perspectives that unfold naturally without forced conclusions. Even those resistant to change are presented as part of a broader national conversation about land, class and community.
By the end, the film leaves behind a simple but persuasive idea: that access to the countryside should feel less like a privilege and more like something shared by everyone.Parking in Berkhamsted is very difficult but there is road parking along Three Close Lane. Please allow time to find somewhere to park. We meet between (or near to) the two doors in the bar.
