This pub walk explores the pretty village of Redbourn and its beautiful surrounding countryside.

It starts at the Hollybush pub, which is a traditional country pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The walk takes you through the lovely village common and past the pretty church.
Then, it will take you out into the countryside where you'll enjoy a long peaceful stroll through fields and meadows. Halfway around the walk, you'll come across Redbournbury Mill, a Grade II listed flour mill that was first built in the 11th century.
Parking: Free car park in the village

The walk
Redbourn Walk
This second route is basically a long extension of the first walk for those of you that really want to stretch your legs.
You'll still enjoy the church, Nickey Line and Redbourn Common, but about half way along the Nickey Line you'll leave the route for a big extra loop of glorious countryside walking - the highlight of this being the delightful Redbournbury Mill.
Please be aware that you have to cross a busy road twice on this route, so it might not be suitable for some walkers.

Really enjoying using the app. This is our second wall using it.There was lots of lovely scenery and wildlife and we had a welcome drink at the Holly Bush pub at the end.

Walker review
We did the 2 1/2 hour walk with our dog, very nice, fairly easy walk, pretty countryside. There were some horses in a field alongside side the path, they were penned in but you can see them. The path was very quiet, only met one other walking couple.
