This 5.5 mile walk begins in the picturesque village of Aldbury. We leave on a path beside the pub & make our way across fields to walk a short section of the Hertfordshire Way, we head north at Westlandand Farm & follow a series of paths to Northfield Grange. A short climb then takes as onto the Ridgeway with spectacular views over the chalk pits & Pitstone Windmill. We continue across open countryside to cross over Stocks Lane & follow the paths to walk through Down Farm then a mixture of fields & tracks to return to Aldbury & the Greyhound for refreshments.

There is some parking space in front of the Greyhound pub and around the pond but better options may be in the car park further along Stocks Road or along Trooper Road.

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. Malcolm’s contact number is 07899 287785.
