Walk 2795 - Circular walk from Great Gaddesden to Little Gaddessden
| Region | Chilterns AONB | | County/Area | Hertfordshire | | Author | Donald Morton | | Length | 7.5 miles / 12.2 km | | Ascent | 770 feet / 233 metres | | Grade | easy/moderate |
This walk explores some of the hamlets of the Chilterns which, although close to Hemel Hempstead retain their remoteness in their quiet locations. It goes over the typical chalk uplands of the Gade valley and up to the beechwoods of the National Trust Ashridge estate. It passes charming 17th century cottages, a vineyard, a Buddhist Temple and long established churches. The country truly merits its AONB designation.
