Walk 136 | Three Counties | Highest Peaks Walk
A five hour walk that was so good, I walked it twice!
This video was originally filmed in July 2024. However, a camera software update rendered all the video unusable, so I repeated the walk again in August 2024, after the issue was remedied.
A 17-mile linear walk to the summits of the highest peaks in the three English Counties of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
My walk begins in the Buckinghamshire town of Wendover and heads up into Wendover Woods to the highest peak in Buckinghamshire, Haddington Hill (267m).
I then head downhill to pick up The Ridgeway, passing through Northill Wood and into Pavis Wood, the location of the highest peak in Hertfordshire (244m). From here I pass through Hastoe and into Tring Park, skirt the edge of Wigginton, then downhill to Tring Train Station.
From Tring Station I follow The Ridgeway up over Aldbury Nowers and Pitstone Hill, then turn right halfway up Steps Hill towards Ward’s Hurst Farm, and down Hog Hall Lane to Dagnall.
Heading uphill again, I join the Icknield Way, passing through Whipsnade Village and ending on The Dunstable Downs, the highest peak in Bedfordshire (243m).
This video was filmed in 4K on a GoPro Hero 11 and a DJI Mini 3 Drone, on a mainly bright day in August 2024.
If you would like to suggest a walk for me to video, please let me know in the comments.

    Yesterday's weather was perfect for a bike ride! I spent four hours cycling from Apsley to Berkhamsted along the Grand Union Canal, then looped back to Hemel Hempstead through Potten End. The route had plenty of hill climbs, but the scenery made it all worthwhile!

      @Bishie87 how many miles did you cycle by the time you got home? Weather was just right yesterday, I walked 11.75 miles and apart from tired legs, I felt good. Would have been a totally different story today. Keep up the good work 👍

    I'd like to recommend a 10-mile circular route that starts in Albury and takes you through the Ashridge Estate, Berkhamsted Common, and along the Grand Union towards Cow Roast. Then, follow the Chiltern Way until you reach Albury again. You can find a version of it below: czcams.com/video/BsTX506qwe4/video.html
