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.
An enjoyable walk of Hertfordshire classics: undulating countryside, woodland, streams, pretty villages, water towers, churches, impressive houses, farm animals, nice views, pubs and cake!
Starting and ending at Bayford station, we'll explore tracks and woods on the way to Epping Green before stopping for our packed lunches in the lovely village of Little Berkhamsted. The village shop sells great cakes, baked goods and much more besides - the bakewell tart being particularly recommended! We then have the option of a drink in the Five Horseshoes pub before heading off in search of the second half of our walk, on a winding route following some of the most interesting local paths.
Given the time of year and terrain it could get rather muddy, so if we've had rain, pack your waterproof boots and get ready to use them in earnest!
Dogs are welcome on a lead, but please be aware that there will be some road walking.
For information about walking with the group, including our dog policy, please visit the Stag Walkers website.
Booking your place: If you would like to join, you must book in advance using the Stag Walkers Meetup group - see Notes for how to book & what to bring. If you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking so that someone else can take your place.
Please do not turn up for a walk without booking, as places are limited.
Unless you opt in to further communications, we will only use contact information you provide to get in touch about the walk.

Please:
DO NOT book onto a walk unless you are pretty sure you will be able to make it.
UPDATE YOUR RSVP. We understand ‘life happens’ so if you need to change your RSVP please do this at least 24 hours before the walk and before booking closes to enable someone else to take your place.
DON’T NO-SHOW on the day unless it is absolutely unavoidable (we do understand ‘life happens’) because it prevents others from enjoying a walk if it is fully booked.
*TAKE NOTE that if you no-show and/or cancel after the booking closing deadline three times, without extenuating circumstances, we will decline further bookings from you for a period of six weeks.*
Bring a packed lunch/snacks and drinks, appropriate clothing for the conditions and optionally a basic first aid kit.
