A scenic, varied route starting through woods, then alongside lakes and the Grand Union Canal, with field and woodland sections in between. Some woods are steep in places and the canal walking is easy and beautiful. Several stiles. Ongoing HS2 works add diversions and length to the route. Bury Lake has benches for watching wildlife.

Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.

Warnings: After rain the section leaving the canal towards West Hyde can flood to above mid-calf depth, and the woodland near the HS2 works gets very muddy. A short section runs alongside a busy road on a bark-mulched verge.
