Overview

Break up the short post–bank holiday week with a relaxed evening walk from Berkhamsted Station. We’ll head out at golden hour, across open fields to the woods of Berkhamsted Common, passing the World War I practice trenches before looping back past the castle to the canal. Our route times it perfectly to arrive back around sunset and finishing at The Crystal Palace pub for an optional meal or drink together.

If you can’t make the walk, you’re welcome to meet us at the pub from about 8 pm. Please let the leader know if you’d like food, or RSVP via Meetup.
