Overview

At a moderate pace and all flat in the morning. We go through attractive Denham Village, across the golf course and via the Colne Valley Visitor Centre to walk along the Grand Union Canal and the Colne Valley Trail to Pysefield Lake and lunch. After lunch, walking on the Hillingdon Trail there are some inclines through fields and woods with stiles to Rickmansworth. There is also a flat self guided option back to Rickmansworth straight along the canal which is the same length.

Lunch: Picnic or pub lunch at the Coy Carp.

Train:  London Marylebone 10:10; Arr Denham 10:39 (High Wycombe train). Return is from Rickmansworth (Zone 7, Metropolitan Line & Nat Rail) so buy single to Denham (possible from West Ruislip or Zone 6).
