We’re a Ramblers group aimed mainly at people in their 20s, 30s and slightly older, offering led walks and social events across Herts, Beds and south Cambs.
This walk is for up to 25 people, including the leader.
A scenic walk through undulating countryside in the Chilterns National Landscape, taking in the views across Ashridge, visiting Berkhamsted and the villages of Frithsden and Potten End.
This walk has been graded moderate due to numerous slopes, including a couple that will be very steep, and some paths which may be muddy. Please wear appropriate footwear.
Please also note that parking is limited so we recommend car-sharing if possible.
Starting at The Green in Potten End, we'll head south towards Little Heath, where if you look carefully, you can see some WW2 anti tank bollards. Next, we'll head to Castle Village, a part of Berkhamsted Castle now used as a retirement village. We'll continue down the hill to the impressive remains of Berkhamsted Castle, where there is free entry to the castle grounds.
After visiting the castle we'll head back uphill towards Frithsden Beeches and Berkhamsted Common, where there are WW1 memorials and bunkers. This is where we'll have our lunch stop. There are also great views over Berkhamsted, a great spot for photos! We'll have to mind our heads as we travel through Berkhamsted golf course and then onto the hamlet of Frithsden, where we will have a pub stop at The Alford Arms. Finally, we'll head back to Potten End and an optional end of walk drink at Martins' Pond.
Dogs are welcome on a lead.
