The first walk option (the orange route) is a perfect short family-friendly pub walk in the pretty undulating countryside surrounding the village of Little Berkhamsted.

The walk is quite short, but it packs a lot of variety with a stroll through the village itself with it's wonderful cricket pitch and scrumptious village pub, a walk through some lovely and peaceful open fields and a couple of stretches of walking through some lovely woodlands.

Walker review

Very much enjoyed this walk. Beautiful combination of open fields and petty woods.. Fairly easy. We strayed off route by mistake as busy talking! But easily found oue way back onto it. The Five Horseshoes pub is perfect for coffee, drinks or a meal. Easy parking for patrons.

Walker review

Very over grown in areas, just passable

Walker review

Very muddy when wet!

Walker review

Dog and I foolishly chose this walk after a couple of days of heavy rain. Deep muddy paths near beginning of walk - just made it through without mud entering boots. Path along roadside for parts was a 2-3 inch river. Very pretty walk though and looking forward to repeat on a drier day.

Walker review

Short easy walk, with some pretty patches (particularly the first wooded area) but too many boring narrow paths hugging the road filled with stinging nettles and brambles. Not a good one for shorts on a hot day at the end of summer. Maybe better in Spring. Nice to have pub options though.

Walker review

A quite steep and long climb after crossing the first road. A few more smaller inclines further on. When we went there was not much parking on the road but you can park in the pub car park.

Walker review

Very overgrown in some areas.

The second option (the red-dotted route) is a slightly longer version of the first walk for those of you that want less woodland, but more pubs!

The first half of the walk is essentially the same, but instead of cutting back to the village through the pretty Bucks Alley Wood, it instead heads further out towards Epping Green and then visits another lovely pub before working it's way back through open countryside to Little Berkhamsted.

A significant stretch along a path adjacent to a busy road so would need to keep more boisterous dogs on a lead and sections which are obviously little used and overgrown so need covered legs ...to avoid the stinging nettles but otherwise a lovely walk

Walker review

Great walk, lovely through the woods on an autumn day. The five horseshoes is a lovely pub to finish up at.
