A 6 mile circular walk from The Hemel Hempstead Garden Centre in Pipers Hill which is just off the Leighton Buzzard Road, near Water End. The walking route explores the stunning surrounding Hertfordshire countryside, discovering the picturesque and historic Gaddesden Estate and a stretch of the Chiltern Way. You will enjoy peaceful tracks leading you between rolling fields and pockets of mixed woodland with expansive views throughout. Along the way, you will see some of the estate’s historic buildings including Gaddesden Place and the Golden Parsonage. The walk is relatively flat for the most part, with just a few gentle slopes. We need to cross the busy Leighton Buzzard Road a couple of times so will need to take care. Allow 2.5 hours.

Please use the overflow section of the car park, at the far end as you drive in.
After the walk, we can have some refreshments in the Garden Centre café. The post code for the Garden Centre is HP1 3BY.

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. Any problems please call Malcolm on 07899 287785.
