Hertfordshire & North Middlesex Ramblers

Hertfordshire & North Middlesex Ramblers We support nine Ramblers Groups in our Area and help to protect our local footpaths and countryside. Extensive woodlands, meandering chalk streams.

Our area of Hertfordshire and the northern boroughs of London has a wide variety of attractive countryside. Rolling empty farmland in the east, chalk downland on the Chiltern Hills. The whole area is studded with picturesque villages and ancient market towns. Beyond the built-up southern part there are narrow lanes with little traffic and an extensive, well maintained network of rights of way. It'

s great walking country. Our London boroughs can also take advantage of easy access to explore London. Join us on a walk to find out more! In addition to our Group walks, we also work to protect and enhance the rights of way in Hertfordshire and our three London boroughs, help protect the countryside in which we walk, and run events such as our Herts & North London Walks Fest.
