Walking in Watford and beyond

Welcome to the Watford & Three Rivers group. We pride ourselves on the welcome you will get from our group, based in South West Herts. As well as walking in our local area, we may also head out into the nearby Chilterns or into other parts of our county.  

We usually offer one full day's walk a week, usually on Saturdays of between 8 and 12 miles, and a mid-week morning walk of up to 6 miles about once a month.  

Some of our walks may be hillier than others and some may be muddy - particularly in winter! If you are unsure about anything, just check with the leader beforehand. We're very happy for you to come along for a couple of walks to see how you like it before joining the Ramblers.  

Join our walking community

We have members of varying ages and backgrounds but the one thing that unites us is the welcome we give to new members and the enjoyment we get from introducing them to the simple joys of countryside walking.  

We also like to explore further afield and so we usually organise two UK-based weekends away each year and sometimes a longer break.
