Table of contents

The Gaddesden Place Circular Walk is a great kid-friendly walk that follows gentle slopes and takes you to Gaddesden Place, which harks back to 1768. At the end of the walk, you can kick back, relax, and sip on a refreshing pint at Old Chequers.

Route Description for Gaddesden Place Circular Walk

The Gaddesden Place Circular Walk follows a lovely kid-friendly loop through the countryside that takes you to the 1768-built Gaddesden Place, a storied building embroidered with tales, both old and new. It’s a hot spot for filmmakers! Little Britain has shot some scenes here, among many other commercials, films, and TV shows.

This walk may be lovely, but it can be slightly dreadful during wetter months. The paths can get super muddy, making this walk super tough to navigate. Therefore, it’s best to walk this loop during the summer months when there’s less chance of rain. Your route begins and ends at Old Chequers, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink either before or after your loop!
