Discover The Golden Valley, a hidden gem of the Ashridge Estate, on this 5.3 mile walk. Designed by the famous ‘Capability’ Brown this masterpiece ranks amongst his finest works. Following historic rides and paths, this route begins at Ashridge House and explores the faded grandeur of Ashridge Park and the historic deer park. We return through the woods of Berkhamsted Common, pass the visitor centre and return along Prince’s Riding. The walk should be pleasant at this time of the year but may be muddy in parts and should not take much more than 2 hours. After the walk, we can visit the Ashridge House cafe for refreshments.

Please be aware that the location listed is generated by Meetup and can be confusing for SatNav users. The post code I have for Ashridge House is HP4 1NS but the road to the house is off the main road and can be accessed from Little Gaddesden to the north or Frithsden and Potten End to the south. Please check your route before setting off.

Please note that this walk is not led by a qualified leader and, as such, isn't covered by insurance. Please 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. 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.
