The White Horse Pub Walk, Burnham Green
This pub walk is a wonderfully varied adventure in this lovely area of Hertfordshire countryside.
The White Horse, Burnham Green
1 White Horse Ln, Burnham Green, AL6 0HA
01438 798100
The walk heads out to the north from the White Horse pub pub and then takes you on an adventure through Barnes Wood and Harmergreen Wood where you'll possibly find some air outlets from the railway tunnels deep in the woods.
The youngest member of our team had no trouble believing that these outlets were goblin towers, especially when the train drove through the tunnels sending haunting sounds and winds into the surrounding forest.
You'll also emerge out onto a clearing overlooking the dramatic entrance to the tunnel itself deep in the woods at one point, making the adventure even more fun.
After that excitement, you will then follow the loop back round through a residential area and then through some pretty countryside until you reach the village and wonderful large pub garden for your reward.
Parking: Roadside parking in the village or car park in the pub

One of my favourites for Autumn!
Walker review
This was a really lovely autumn walk through lots of beautiful woodland and wooded paths. The views on the open sections were lovely and we loved the magic wind of the goblin tunnels!
Walker review
Lovely walk, lots of off lead for the dogs. The only livestock were several fields with horses at the side of the path. Great pub at Burnham Green.

Lovely walk, some train interest en route for young enthusiasts plus you can reward yourself with a pub lunch at the end.
