Overview

This walk is unusually flat.  The walk takes us alongside the old Bovingdon Aerodrome with views across towards Berkhamsted passing film studios and prison.  We then take a shortcut through side-streets to Bovingdon Green where we come into Boxmoor Trust nature reserve.  It may be that we come across their herd of goats if we are lucky.  Then we go behind the brickworks to Pudds Cross.  We take a drovers lane to bring us back to the fields leading to Whelpley Hill once more.  We pass very close to an ancient monument - although looking like an ordinary field it is the site of one of 150 Iron Age Hill Forts in this country callled "Slight univallate hillforts".
