The walk

Bricket Wood Walk

This is a short but lovely varied walk around the pretty Bricket Wood Common.

You'll enjoy a peaceful stroll around some lovely woodlands that have areas of bluebells in the spring, and there's also an abundance of wildlife to enjoy as you walk around the route.

If the lay-by is full, there's a second lay-by a bit further down School lane to the south.

Walker review

If you like a short walk in the woods, then this is a perfect walk for you

Walker review

This was a lovely easy walk through woodlands with lots of interesting trees and birds. There was also a fantastic cafe at Bricket Wood Station that you can easily leave the route for, with homemade cakes called The Tearoom. It was very enjoyable overall.

Walker review

Lovely walk, my 3 year old boys enjoyed it. Could be muddy if its wet. First half very buggy friendly, secind half could be done if dry.

Walker review

Reckon it would be a perfect walk in dryer conditions. Walking boots or wellies are a must when it has been raining.

Walker review

Currently very flooded and paths not suitable to walk along.
