A short circular evening walk to Chartridge and returning back via Bedlows wood to Ballinger. 

This walk begins in Verulamium Park in St Albans. We pass the ruins of the city wall around the ancient Roman settlement of Verulamium – which stood on what is now the park.

We then go through the Gorhambury Estate, passing Old Gorhambury House – built by Sir Nicholas Bacon, before passing into the hands of his son, Sir Francis Bacon. The house by was replaced by the current Gorhambury House in 1784 after falling into disrepair.

We then return, mostly, through countryside fields to Verulamium Park. There will then be a drink at the oldest pub in Great Britain, Ye Olde Fighting Cocks – where Oliver Cromwell once stayed.

We start the walk near Ivinghoe Beacon then head down south to the Ashridge Estate, where we can climb the Bridgewater Monument.

We then head south to a early-ish pub lunch at the Greyhound or to eat a packed lunch, then further south past the Ashridge College before looping up past Little Gaddeden and Dagnall, where we might stop for a drink if we like.

Finally we make our way towards Ivinghoe Beacon and finish here, a fitting end to the walk.   

A leisurely walk exploring the waterways around Marsworth and the College Lake Nature Reserve. We start by walking along the Grand Union Canal and its Aylesbury branch and then head towards College Lake.

Once a chalk quarry, College Lake is now one of the Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust's flagship nature reserves, currently supporting more than 1,000 different wildlife species. We will descend down to the water level to observe at close hand through an observation hut and then sit on top of a bank overlooking the Lake to eat packed lunch.

Soon after there will be a drinks stop at the charming Grand Junction Arms next to the canal in Bulborne.

We will walk along the Wendover Arm and the picturesque Marsworth Reservoirs on the way back to Marsworth.

A moderate walk with a couple of hills. We will start form the car park and climb to the foot of the Mausoleum. From there we will head to Downley Common and then proceed to Hughenden Manor.

We can stop for quick refreshments at the National Trust shop and tea room. From there we will walk north towards Naphill Common and then west past Bradenham Manor and Bradenham Village.After climbing up to Hearnton Wood, it is then an easy stroll back to the Mausoleum and car park.
