Broxbourne Walks & Route Maps

This first route option is a short family friendly stroll from the Broxbourne Riverside.

After strolling through the Broxbourne recreation ground, you'll then join up with the New River Path for a stretch of pleasant canal-side walking.

After a while, you'll then loop around and head back to the start where you'll find the welcoming Old Mil Retreat Cafe on the way.

There are also short detours available to get to the nice pub and also the Broxbourne Train station if you prefer to start from there.

This second route option is a longer riverside walking adventure that heads out to the north from Broxbourne.

You'll first head along the New River Path and pass the Broxbourne train station where you can start the walk from if you wish.

Then, after a while you'll turn away from the river and cut across towards Dobbs Weir where you'll find a lovely pub for refreshments half way around the walk.

Finally, you'll head back along the River Lee Navigation, passing a number of locks as you go and visiting another pub or cafe towards the end of the route if required.

This third route option is another lovely walk from Broxbourne, this time heading out to the south from the start point.

The walk starts with a long and peaceful stroll alongside the River Lee Navigation canal, before it eventually loops around the heads back on an more adventurous path that winds it's way between woodlands and lakes before rejoining the canal to retrace your steps for the last section of the walk.

This fourth route basically an extension of the second route for those of you that have more time and energy for your adventure.

Like the second route, you'll walk north along a pretty stretch of the New River Path, and then loop around and head south again along the River Lee Navigation.

However, this route takes you all the way up to Rye House where there is an impressive gate house, another riverside pub, a car park and a train station.

This makes this walk a great option if you want to do a station to station linear walk between Broxbourne and Rye House train stations.

This final route option is another long station to station walk, but this one heads in the opposite direction from the fourth walk.

On this route, the first half of the walk takes you south along an epic and peaceful stretch of walking alongside the River Lee Navigation towards Cheshunt.

Then, the second half of the walk loops around at Chershunt and takes you back to the north towards Broxbourne, on a more adventurous and winding path through pretty woodlands and lakes.

If you want to walk to Cheshunt and then catch the train back, you can follow either half of the route depending on your mood.
