Overview

A walk of 21 miles consisting of 3 circular walks of 9, 7 and 5 miles. 

Part 1 heads out from Aldbury, crossing Grim's Ditch before picking up the towpath of the GU Canal towards Tring Station. We then join the Ridgeway to Wigginton for a coffee stop, then continue cross-country to Cow Roast and a climb up Norcott Hill and beyond to return to Aldbury for lunch c. 1pm.

Part 2 starts at 1.30pm. An undulating walk passing the Bridgewater Monument and continuing northwards over Duncombe Terrace to Gallows Hill and on to Ivinghoe Beacon. After a coffee stop the walk returns to Aldbury via Clipper Down and Tim's Spring.

Part 3 starts at 5.30pm. A relatively flat walk joining the Chiltern Way up through Ashridge Park towards Ringshall before heading back through pretty woodland, passing the Ashridge Visitor Centre on the return to Aldbury, finishing at the Greyhound PH for a well-earned beverage (or two!)

Join us for any or all three Partsand enjoy a great day's walking!
