Walking BritainDownload GPS FileHertfordshire Way from Aldenham to Bricket Wood
Route Outline
Aldenham is a village with ancient roots, a couple of miles NE from the centre of Watford, retaining a number of older dwellings in what is still a rural setting. It is possible to park by the village green or outside the church (Grid Ref TQ140985) and the walk starts on the Hertfordshire Way by walking up the road with the West end of the church to your right. The walk is described as starting from Aldenham, but for those who do not wish to use a car it is possible to start from Bricket Wood Station, turning right on leaving the station down Station Road and joining the walk at School Lane (Grid Ref TL133016). Bricket Wood is a station on a single track line which runs from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey. The "Abbey Flyer" provides what is effectively a shuttle service running either way about every 45 mins weekdays and Saturdays and roughly hourly on Sundays. If you do just miss a train there are local pubs to help while away the time.
