Walk 1504 - A circular walk from Potten End

County/Area   Hertfordshire
AuthorDonald Morton
Length6.0 miles / 9.8 km
Ascent500 feet / 152 metres
Gradeeasy/moderate

thumbnail

This Hertfordshire walk makes use of the Chiltern Way, The Grand Union Canal, and the Hertfordshire Way to form a pleasant loop in the Bulbourne Valley near Hemel Hempstead, one of the first post war new towns. This was conceived as “a town in a park”, so part of the walk actually cuts through the town which, apart from a short stretch, cannot be seen from the route - a tribute to post war planners. The canal stretch provides plenty of opportunity for observing wild life and there is a pub half way round and another at the end for refreshment.
