Park Street, Aldenham & the Two Rivers (9.5 miles / 15 km - Leisurely, Booking Required)

This walk is for up to 25 people, including the leader.

This mid length walk takes place in the Colne and Ver river valleys, nestled between Radlett and Watford. Much of the walk is along riverbanks, with the rest over varied rural countryside, and a lunch stop in a tranquil village.

We begin in Park Street, a village built on the old Roman road known as Watling Street. We walk through an attractive area of former gravel pits along the River Ver which are now a wetland habitat preserved for public enjoyment.

Following the river south, we cross the M25 motorway at Moor Mill, before following the Riverside Way all the way to the point where the Ver and Colne rivers converge. We continue south along the river valley, finally leaving to take some wooded trails along the edge of a golf course to Aldenham village, where we stop for our picnic lunch on the green.

After lunch we return northwards along a route on the eastern edge of the river valley, through varied farmland and past many horse paddocks. We return to Park Street through another part of the gravel pits, now an extensive scrubland habitat, and then through How Wood. 

Those who wish may join us at the Overdraught pub in Park Street for a post walk drink.

Dogs are welcome on a lead.
