Our 15 mile guided nature walk starts at the historic market town of Berkhamstead and traverses some of the Chilterns most beautiful and diverse terrain. Just 35 mins from central London, our route sweeps through the ancient and vast beech woodlands of Ashridge, then opens up to summit the rolling chalk contours of Ivanhoe Beacon. The 360 degree panoramic views here are extraordinary as we follow small trails that weave from the heights of the beacon looping back through dense pine forests and high farmland back into the Ashridge Estate which is home to roaming herds of Fallow Deer - it unites an encompasses some of the most beautiful terrain Herts & Bucks.
