What better way to get to know Hertfordshire than through walking. It’s a great way to explore, so whether it’s a place to feed the ducks or an energetic weekend walk you’re after, Hertfordshire has a walking route for everyone. With a range of different walking environments from the bustling country market towns to more rural settings and famous landmarks all around you, the walking routes run through some of the most stunning areas of Britain.

Walk around Aldenham Country Park and enjoy 100 acres of woodland and parkland adjacent to a 60 acre lake at this splendid park near Elstree and Borehamwood. The park also has a rare breed’s farm, pony rides and nature walks. The lakeside trail also makes for a lovely, peaceful cycle ride.

Secondly is the Dollis Valley Green Walk. This pleasant walk takes you from Mill Hill near Edgware in North London to the edge of Hampstead Heath along the Dollis Brook. You will pass through Moat Mount Nature Reserve and Totteridge Fields Nature Reserve on this flat easy walk through North London.

So if you’re planning a walking holiday in Hertfordshire then why not stay in a pub? Pubs are a great alternative to hotels and traditional B&B’s giving visitors a special experience incomparable to your average hotel. Pubs don’t just offer a warm comfortable bed after a long day walking, but also offer delicious food and drink combined with the chance to socialise with locals and other walkers.

With all the modern features such as flat screen TV’s, Freeview, WiFi, comfortable bedding and tea and coffee making facilities, you’ll be able to sit back and relax in your room after a long day out. Choose from a range of home cooked dishes, from pub classics to meals with a twist. Meals are prepared by excellent chefs who use only the freshest locally sourced ingredients to give you a real taste of Cycling in Hertfordshire.

In the evenings there’s plenty to keep you busy, with pubs offering a warm fire in the winter or a beer garden in the summer you can relax after dinner with a pint of real ale. Staying in a pub in  Hertfordshire offers walkers the chance to find their own piece of paradise with many areas untouched and unspoilt.
