The first section from Elstree and Boreham Wood station is good paved road but noisy as on a main road. We left the route about 2k before the finish, and took a path up to the left to get us onto a quiet road which led to High Barnet station and then home....

No major problems, but the path from Allum Lane to Barnet Lane was a bit wet and muddy in places, as was the unsurfaced path into Edgwarebury Park. We turn right into Edgwarebury Lane and follow it over the M1 into a residential estate, where we head right into Edgwarebury Park on an unsurfaced and muddy path....

Navigation is largely straightforward as it follows the waymarked Dollis Brook / London Loop path for the most part although the GPX route was helpful at the multiple field corners where there was often a choice of paths. The GPX file takes a route along the road all the way in to Borehamwood, but as others have noted, much better is to divert slightly North off Barnet Lane and rejoin the London Loop path down through Woodcock Hill Village Green (photo 9) and through the pleasant modern housing development leading to the end point....

Jo Wood

Mostly this is a good route, fairly direct and makes the most of wooded footpaths, and quieter streets in the urban sections at both ends....

Luckily at the other side of a stream there is an (at this side) unmarked foot path that goes through a field. The stream goes under the M25 before it continues following field boundaries....

The path then crosses a road and through a field, going around Elstree Aerodrome. On the other side there was a field with horses, and a path that looks to become very muddy in the rain....

Easy, straight-forward route....

You then cross another busy road with steps or ramps, and from there on into Edgware was a little boring along some streets....

The last part follows the Watling Chase Timberland Trail which I walked at the end of last year (and which would make an excellent slow way between Borehamwood and Hatfield)....

It wasn’t as wet as when Strider reviewed it, but there was still some mud which is why I dropped a star. When it dries it will be a 5 star route....

Jane Taylor

I've remade the route as Boredg Two, with the road crossing corrected, and recommend that. Other than that this is a good direct route into/out of London taking advantage of parkland and surprisingly rural green belt lanes....

Jane Taylor

After the woods the route goes downhill along Edgwarebury Lane all the way to Edgwarebury Park. Eventually I came to the outskirts of Edgware and the route turned into Edgwarebury Park After the park comes the A41 Watford Bypass, crossed by a bridge (steps or a long ramp), with this route option there is only a short walk along the main road before turning into residential streets, and eventually coming to Edgware station....

Jane Taylor

After passing Elstree Studios there are nice open spaces and residential streets. After going round the scrubby edge of a golf course and some fields there is a track (part of Cycle network 12) that used to be a road which leads to a tunnel under the motorway....

Strider

A short residential walk from the station quickly takes you to an open common where you walk parallel to the railway....

Strider

This is a lovely walk generally following the London Loop/Dollis Valley Greenwalk....

Strider

Narrow woodland paths, open fields, gravel and dirt tracks, Bridges, bridleways, farms, golf courses, grass and common land....

Strider

Overall I would recommend this route, and only found some accuracy issues which could be easily rectified by following the Dollis Valley Greenwalk signs from Whetstone to Moat Mount Open Space....

Gilgul

On reaching the A41 you will need to turn right out of Edgwarebury Park to the crossing bridge, then double back - this adds about 400m to the journey. From Edgware turn left at the A41 to the crossing and double back....

Strider

Look left if walking North (right if walking South) there is a crossing bridge over the road....
