Buntingford Walks and Route Maps

This first and shortest route option from Buntingford is a simple short stroll around the town itself and slightly out into the surrounding countryside.

You'll first head out from the town and walk a short loop alongside peaceful arable farmland to the east. After that, you'll head back into the town and follow footpaths back to the high street alongside the River Rib.

You'll also pass three local pubs on this short journey, so there are plenty of options for refreshments.

This is another relatively short walk from the market town of Buntingford. This route heads in the opposite direction to the first and takes you into the countryside to the south of the town towards Aspenden.

You'll enjoy some nice open countryside on this walk, and a visit to the pretty St Mary's Church in Aspenden before looping around and walking back to the town.

You have to cross the busy and fast A10 road at one point, so please take great care here, and there are a number of pubs on the route to enjoy as you get back into Buntingford.

This third route option is an extension to the first walk for those of you with a little bit more time for your adventure.

Like the first route, you'll enjoy a stroll around the market town of Buntingford with it's number of pubs to enjoy. However, this route also offers a slightly longer venture out into the arable farmland and countryside to the east of Buntingford.

There is a fair climb as you head out into the countryside, so this is a more strenuous walk.

This fourth route is a slight variation on the third walk that heads out into the countryside to the east of Buntingford.

It's similar in distance, but this option spends more time in the countryside and less time in the town of Buntingford itself than the third route.

To achieve this it takes you further to the east, over the hill and touches into the small village of Hare Street, before heading back over the same hill towards Buntingford.

This fifth route option is a long and varied walk that explores the countryside to the north and east of Buntingford.

You'll head off along quiet country lanes, or through open farmland, towards the village of Wyddial where you'll visit the pretty church of St Giles. You'll then work your way back to Buntingford in a big loop through more beautiful open countryside.

Once back into the town, you'll head back to the start on a path alongside the River Rib and through the high street where you'll find some nice pubs for refreshments.

This final route is basically an epic adventure that fully explores the undulating countryside surrounding the market town of Buntingford.

It enjoys a lot of the main areas, villages and features that you'll find in the previous routes, but all in one long circular walk.

It's quite a strenuous walk and it's quite exposed to any adverse weather conditions, so please go adequately prepared for your journey.
