This is a new start point for us, after the walk we have a choice of venues depending on our numbers.

Café on the Common
What makes us different is that we are a training café, which means we put every penny you spend with us into helping young adults with learning disabilities make the most of their lives.
The café is run by MEA, a social enterprise charity founded in 2018. Each year, we take on a team of interns with learning disabilities and give them the skills and confidence to find paid work when they finish their year’s programme with us.
The cafe is dog friendly & CARD only.

There is limited space in the cafe so if we are a large group or it’s busy the Gate pub is a few minutes walk away.

The Walk
From the common we pick up the Chess Valley Walk down to the river & on to some familiar footpaths. After crossing at Sarrattmill Bridge we make our way up to Church End to join the Chiltern Way to Rose Hill Farm. We descend through Hanginglane Wood to cross back over the river via a ford at the watercress beds. We then pick up the Chess Valley Walk again & follow the river back to Chorleywood Common & the cafe or the pub.

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.
