Overview

We leave Rickmansworth Underground Station following the Chess Valley Way for the first mile before crossing the Chess and walking up hill to Croxley Green. We then head north-west to Church End and skirting around Sarratt before reaching the north end of Sarratt Green where we will stop for a picnic lunch near The Boot pub.

From here we will take a path skirting the east side of the village across fields and farm tracks to reach a country lane leading down to Chandlers Ford and onward to Whippendell Wood. We eventually emerge at Cassiobury Park which we cross to arrive at our destination, Watford Underground Station.
