I walked from Berkhamsted to Tring. It was a lovely varied walk which I enjoyed a lot. It has recently been raining quite a bit so there was a lot of mud - some puddles stretching the whole width of the canal path for example - but a waterproof pair of boots dealt with them admirably. The descent through the woods in Tring Park was also quite steep (as mentioned by another reviewer) - I managed to get down without too much difficulty but there are a couple of other footpaths that look slightly less steep to the north of the route. Overall I found it fairly easy to navigate, and enjoyed walking it.

Pleasant route. As usual a few places where you need to ensure you are on the right path because of the large number of tracks and paths ion the area. A walk of two halves. Tring to Cow Roast which is across fileds and through the woods above Tring. Then second part is along the towpath . First part of the towpath is pretty quiet then gets busier as you approach Berkhamsted.

I walked this from Tring to Berkhamstead, on a slightly overcast Saturday afternoon. It is a very varied route.

Out of Tring the walk isn't very interesting, until you cross the A41 into Tring Park, which was lovely and there were some cows in the field. I took a slightly longer tour through it, as I didn't want to walk through the wild flower beds. After the open fields there was a *very* steep public footpath up the hill, with views of an obelisk to the right. On the east side of Wigginton, there were many open fields, and you go around some lovely fields to cross underneath the A41, which is noisy, but only for a tiny bit. On the otherside I couldn't quite follow the route as a new cricket field had been bought. Instead I followed the byway straight into Cow Roast and the Grand Union Canal, which you then walking along all the way into Berkhamstead.

Starting from Berkhamsted, I had no idea quite what a varied walk this would be. Beginning with canal towpath fringed with places of historical interest, the route soon takes you away across the wide open space of Hertfordshire. There is woodland and the occasional stile as it makes use of major walking routes in parts. There is a pub in the village of Wigginton, although it was too early for me to need it. The edge of the village is where Tring Park begins. The route through Bull Wood is direct and involves quite a descent. I was OK with it, but It might not be to everyone's taste, especially if you have any knee problems. Leaving the woods to join the cross the park, suddenly there seemed to be many more people. It's a popular and friendly spot for a walk. A road bridge crosses the A41 and descends in the shape of a snail shell. The walk into Tring is via a series of alleyways. This walk is direct, safe, and really nice to walk. It's plotted precisely and it's easy to follow. At under 10km, the pub in Wigginton is a bonus. A really nice Slow Way.

I walked this route from Berkhamsted to Tring and really enjoyed it.

There’s quite a bit of diversity, which I liked. It’s got some lovely canal walking for the first third or so along compacted dirt towpaths. It’s got some great rambling across, over, and through the rolling hills and fields of the Chilterns. The village of Wigginton was nice to pass through. Finally, there’s great forest (complete with an obelisk in the woods?) and grassy park walking on final approach into the lovely town of Tring. All in a little over 5.5 miles!.
