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 30 people, including the leader. The optional pub lunch after the walk is for up to 20 people.
This is a short 4 mile circular introductory walk, which will be at a leisurely pace and is mostly on fairly flat and even ground. If you’re new to countryside walking, or haven’t been to many group walks, this one is for you! The walk will take approximately 2 hours and will give newcomers the chance to find out more about Stag Walkers and the Ramblers. Regular walkers are also invited to attend who'd like to welcome others to enjoy the outdoors with us.
From our starting point at The Grandison Pub, the walk takes us from Bramfield village towards countryside lanes. After this, we will pass by the Woodhall Estate to enter a stretch across open fields. This will then lead us through woodland passing Upper Blackbuck Wood to get a great view of magnificent silver birch trees. We continue the loop going past Tewin Wood, and returning back to the starting point.
There will be the option to join for lunch at The Grandison Pub after the walk. If you wish to join for the meal please pre order by Saturday 12th October via spreadsheet (see link on our Meetup event page). The pub requires a deposit for group bookings, so please also pay the £10 deposit contribution by 12th October (see details on the Meetup event page).
To see the Menu, please look at The Grandison website: https://grandisonpub.com/.
Dogs are welcome, on a lead. The Grandison pub also say they are dog friendly.
For information about walking with the group, including our dog policy, please visit the Stag Walkers website.
