This is a 6.6 mile walk which should take less than 3 hours through the Ashridge Estate woodland before moving on to some steep slopes approaching Ivinghoe Beacon where we can enjoy the spectacular view. We walk across the ridge to Gallows Hill then descend to fields and through The Coombe where we walk through dense woodland. There is a steep rise before coming out of the woods and along a farm lane to re-enter Ashridge woods. A 30 minute walk back along Duncombe Terrace to finish back at the visitor centre where we can have some refreshments at the cafe.

The address for the Ashridge visitor centre is Moneybury Hill, Ringshall, Berkhamsted HP4 1LX but be wary of SatNav directions which could lead you astray. The visitor centre is well signposted from the B4506.

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. 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.
