Tuesday Evening Walk to Frithsden Beeches and Berkhamsted Common

This is an enchanting walk of just under 5 miles providing a mixture of woodland paths, wide open fields, country lanes and hillside valley views. Starting from the Alford Arms pub in the hamlet of Frithsden, our route takes out to the vast expanse of Berkhamsted Common, and home via the delights of Frithsden Beeches. Walking time approx. 2 hours.

The price for the walk is £2 to cover costs.

After the walk you're welcome to stay for a chat and/or drink at the Alford Arms, which is also a destination food pub.

The Alford Arms has a wonderful philosophy of children, dogs and muddy boots welcome. You'll find a friendly atmosphere, good local ales, carefully chosen wines and delicious meals. The post code for the pub is HP1 3DD.
