About us

Berkhamsted Walks and Social welcomes all friends, new and established, to our group. We do ask members to provide a clear profile photo of themselves. 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!

Thank you!

We can meet in the little car park in front of the church but there are other parking spots around the Common. The address for the local cafe is 10 The Common, Chipperfield, Kings Langley WD4 9BS which is just past the church.

This 5 mile walk should take not much more than 2 hours. We head out through Chipperfield Common then proceed westward to Woodman's Wood before walking along Holly Hedges Lane. We loop around Dons Wood then cross farmland and past Chipperfield House. We pick up a familiar route past Rose Farm before returning to Chipperfield where we can pop into Blackwell's cafe for drinks and snacks.

Please note that this walk is not led by a qualified leader and, as such, isn't covered by insurance. Be sure to wear suitable boots and clothing. The organiser cannot be held responsible for any injuries, however caused. Members are expected to take responsibility for their own preparation and safety including adequate fluids, weather protection and a snack. Please be sure to make me aware if you have any medical conditions.

Dogs are welcome as always but please be mindful to keep them on leads for roads and around other animals.
If you are unable to attend please be sure to change your RSVP otherwise our departure will be delayed. My contact number is 07587867371

This is a 4 mile flat, easy walk along the Wendover canal & Weston Turville reservoir. This interesting section of canal is non-navigable so has been reclaimed by nature. We should see & hear plenty of bird life, & if we’re lucky baby ducks & swans so fingers crossed. After the walk we can stop for a drink at the Red Lion pub in Wendover.

We meet in the Library car park HP22 6DU in Wendover. If you come in from Aston Clinton through Halton and into the High Street, the car park is on the left.

Dogs are welcome as always but please be mindful to keep them on leads for roads and around other animals.

If you are unable to attend please be sure to change your RSVP otherwise our departure will be delayed. Malcolm’s contact number is 07899 287785

We can meet in the little car park in front of the church but there are other parking spots around the Common. The address for the local cafe is 10 The Common, Chipperfield, Kings Langley WD4 9BS which is just past the church.

This is a short, flat 3,5 miles walk designed for those recovering from injury or those who would simply like an easier walk. We pick up a familiar route through the woods of Chipperfield Common then on to Bucks Hill before heading through the woods south of Commonwood. From Plough Lane, we can pick up a very slight incline to Hillmeads Farm. Back into Chipperfield Common then we return to the welcoming Blackwell's Cafe where hot and cold drinks and food are available.
