3.1 miles (5.1 km) with 24m of total ascent


Sacombe footpath 15 between points 8 & 9

This is a really lovely and easy walk along the valley of the River Beane. It includes rights of way that feature in other walks in our collection but they are walked in reverse, which results in a totally new walking experience.

There are several sections of this walk where you are well away from any traffic noise and where you can enjoy uninterrupted birdsong. We tested this route at the end of April 2024 and there were abundant colonies of wild garlic in the woodland along the final leg.

Walk 262: Bunkers Park South Loop

3 miles (4.9 km) with 67m of total ascent

This is the shorter of two walks that start and finish in Bunkers Park, south of Hemel Hempstead. The route passes through two excellent nature reserves. Unlike most of our routes this walk doesn't pass close to a pub or cafe, so you might want to take some refreshments.

Walk 261: Essendon Short Loop

2.3 miles (3.7 km) with 53m of total ascent

This short walk from the village of Essendon has been added to the collection following requests in our Hertfordshire Walker Facebook group for more walks that are less than three miles long. It is one of several routes that start and finish in Essendon, and it follows paths that feature in some of our other walks but walked in a different direction and combination.
