Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

This 15-mile circular walk through the Chilterns that starts and ends at Tring Railway Station. Rolling hills with constant undulation.
A brisk walk with an ave speed of 3 mph.
We begin with a gentle walk along the Grand Union Canal, then up through Pitstone Hill & Steps Hill, where we meet the Ridgeway, and then onto Ivinghoe Beacon, offering panoramic views.
We’ll then take the Icknield Way Trail through Coomb Wood.
We then have a climb of 87 steps (a steep ascent), which is followed by a further steep ascent to Ringshall Coppice.
We’ll have a late lunch in Little Gaddesden, so please bring a packed lunch. There is a pub for drinks only.
A sharp descent after lunch, then through a golf course, via woodlands, Albury Common and back to Tring Station.
Train:
Take the 10:24 train from London Euston Railway Station (10:36 Harrow & Wealdstone; 10:43 Watford Junction; 10:51 Hemel Hempstead, 10:56 Berkhamsted). Arrives Tring Railway Station at 11:02.
Buy a return ticket to Tring Station.
Check trains the day before.
Use the toilet on the train (or at Euston station) – there are no toilets at Tring station.
No dogs please, thank you.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
