Cassiobury Park Walk 2

Walk distance
1¾ miles
Time
1 hour
Route type
Circular

This second route option is basically a longer version of the first route. It goes off the solid paths for a while, so it's not quite as good for the wheels, but it enjoys a longer stretch of walking alongside the canal and through the woods.

2½ miles
Time
1 hour
Route type
Circular

This third option basically enjoys everything that the second walk has to offer, but it then also goes for a longer walk deeper into Cassiobury park.

As well as enjoying the canal-side walking and woodlands of the park, it also takes you into the eastern area of the park, where you'll find the park bandstand and a cafe.

Cassiobury Park Walk 4

Walk distance
5½ miles
Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

The final walk option is a much longer walk for those of you that want to get more exercise and further explore the area around the Cassiobury park.

The walk has everything from the third route that fully explores the park itself. However, this route option also takes you on a big walk out of the park and through the West Herts golf course before embarking on a loop around Whippendell Woods, visiting the lovely little Dell wood on the way.

You cross the golf fairways twice on this route, so please look out for flying balls and pay attention to the signs that tell you which way to look
