Overview

12.5 miles Circular walk to the East from Tring Park. 
There will be hills and some muddy paths. 
Starting from the new Tring Park car-park 

We walk away from the main road through the quieter side of the park to Wiggington. At Cow Roast Lock we take the Grand Union Canal tow-path to Northchurch. We revert to quiet roads and paths North up to Northchurch Common where we will stop for our packed lunch. We pick up the Icknield Way Trail and pass Tom's House and decend Tom's Hill , cross over the electrified main line railway and re-join the Grand Union tow-path, this time in a North Westerly direction. At Tring Station we take the Ridgeway Path, crossing The Twist at Wiggington back to Tring Park.
Well behaved dogs allowed.
All will be welcome to enjoy a well earned drink afterwards at the Kings Arms in Tring.

Moderate, fairly brisk.

Starting from The Woodland Trust Tring Park carpark off Hastoe Road just uphill from the A41 over-head bridge.

We are not meeting in the Tring Museum carpark as the nearby new Woodlands Trust Tring Park free car-park has longer opening hours and Tring Park is more easily accessible from it. (If you are unfamiliar with it, referencing from the museum car-park in Hastoe Lane, please continue driving up Hastoe Lane, under the road-bridge and take the next turning on the left further up the hill).
