We are Herts Weekend Walkers, HWW for Short . We are aimed at people who are normally working during the week and can usually only find time to get outside and enjoy a walk at the weekend.

This is a chance to visit the pretty village of Flaunden and the undulating hills of West Hertfordshire. We will leave the village surrounded by fields but soon start a descent through woods. On emerging from the trees we are met with a stunning view over Flaunden Bottom and the hills beyond. We then follow a path above the beautiful River Chess, leaving it before it reaches the outskirts of Chesham. The route then meanders through unfrequented farmland until we reach the nature reserve at Cowcroft Wood. A traverse across pleasant Ley Hill Common gets us to the ridge path back towards Flaunden with lovely views in both directions. There is then a short stretch of road to arrive back in the village, where refreshments may be had at the Green Dragon, hopefully in its recently renovated garden.
There is no need to pre-book or contact the leader in advance.
If already a Ramblers member, please bring your Ramblers card (or membership details on the app) as we submit a register to Ramblers before we start the walk. Totally new members are allowed to come on up to three walks before joining.
The car park at Flaunden Village Hall. There is a section reserved for users of the Hall, but there should be plenty of room on the righthand side for general (free) parking. Otherwise please park considerately in the surrounding village streets.
