This was a perfect cardio hike and there is an awesome off road cycling route. Next time on my touring bike 😃
Surprisingly easy to get to (trains every 15 mins from Euston). Beautiful views. Paths were claggy , as mud mixed with Chiltern chalk will do that, but not impassable & better conditions than wetter mud. Views really worth it. I'm planning on doing other walks in the area - you could see other enticing paths leading away.
This is my absolute ‘go to’ walk! It really is different every time and only an hour away from London! Also a big plus for this particular route is it starts at Tring Train Station.
A perfect loop with lambs, kite, wild garlic, bluebells hills and wonderful woods. Loved it
A really good variation on the ‘Beacon’ walk that takes in the Red Cedar’ woods. In many ways it’s an easier walk as going counter-clockwise takes you down the steepest parts of the walk rather than up. You’ll need a car to get here.
