Overview

This linear walk follows a scenic stretch of mainly woodland countryside through the Ashridge Estate and finishes along the canal. Leaving Tring station we walk through pretty Aldbury village and then ascend up to the NT visitor centre at the Bridgewater Monument for a short break and toilets. We then walk through the woodlands of Berkhamsted Common towards the Berkhamsted area, stopping at Potten End for our picnic lunch, probably on the green, with pub closeby for drinks and toilets. We then descend down to the G U Canal to walk the towpath into Hemel Hempstead for the station. Lovely views in the Ashridge Estate and along the canal.
