Walking in West Hertfordshire

Welcome to the West Herts group. Our members are based mostly in Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and the surrounding area.  

Our walks, however, aren’t limited to the local area  – we cover Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, the Chilterns and we also have the occasional London walk. New walkers are welcome to join us for a couple of taster walks before committing to joining the Ramblers. 

We walk most Sundays and frequently on Tuesdays as well. The walks are generally between 5 to 12 miles and you’ll need to bring lunch for the longer walks. Our walks are in the countryside, so you’ll need good walking shoes and suitable clothing. You’ll need to book in advance to join a walk but the booking system on our website is simple and easy to use. 

Our walking community

As well as our walks programme we also have social events, pub lunch walks and walking weekends away.  See our website and Facebook page for more details of our walks programme and events  – we hope you’ll join us on a walk soon.
