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!

For anyone who hasn't seen this film, it's a fantastic quirky, feel good comedy. For anyone who has seen it, it's well worth seeing it again in the comfort of The Rex.

The Hoover family -- a man (Greg Kinnear), his wife (Toni Collette), an uncle (Steve Carell), a brother (Paul Dano) and a grandfather (Alan Arkin) -- puts the fun back in dysfunctional by piling into a VW bus and heading to California to support a daughter (Abigail Breslin) in her bid to win the Little Miss Sunshine Contest. The sanity of everyone involved is stretched to the limit as the group's quirks cause epic problems as they travel along their interstate route.

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.

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.

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
