Walk from Watford High Street

Jump on a train, get off at Watford High Street Station and lose yourself in a beautiful hike for the day.

Watford High Street to Radlett

Beautiful woodland. Quite stunning in the mist. Leaves Watford alongside the River Colne through parks and winding riverside tarmac paths, a short narrow verge on Berry Grove Lane, then quiet Otterspool Lane under the A41 and M1 into beautiful woodland. A track past a golf course leads through Aldenham and across fields and with cut-through paths and quiet suburban roads into Radlett. No steps but bicycle barriers and kissing gates; some parts muddy. Passes Aldenham church and its graveyard.

Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.

Time: 2h–4h30

1 lunch spot: Battlers Green Farm café

Warnings: A 200m stretch of narrow verge along Berry Grove Lane (may be temporarily affected by roadworks, easy to walk around). Bicycle barriers and kissing gates, and some parts can be muddy.

Walk details: Slow Ways.
