We are the Hillingdon Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A circular walk from Mad Bess Woods exploring woodland and countryside between Ruislip, Northwood, Rickmansworth and Harefield.
There will be a coffee break at Batchworth Heath, near Ye Olde Green Man pub (opens 12:00 pm). We head across Moor Park Golf Course, admiring the palladian mansion then down the hill past Rickmansworth Golf Course to the Aquadrome.
After a lunch break at the Aquadrome, we will walk along the Grand Union Canal to Black Jack's lock, where we will climb up to Harefield. We will make our way to St Mary's Church where 100 Anzac WW1 war graves can be seen, before heading across country to return to our start point.
The walk will start from the car park at the top of Ducks Hill Road at 10:00am.
Please bring a picnic lunch.
There is a nice cafe and toilets at the Rickmansworth Aquadrome, our lunch stop. If it is very busy, service at the cafe can take some time.
In Harefield, ice creams / cold drinks can be purchased in the Co-op or SPAR.
There are 3 stiles on the route.
The Mad Bess Woods public car park is c. 0.5 mile from Ruislip Lido, heading up Ducks Hill Road towards Northwood
