North London & South Herts Ramblers

Sunday and midweek walks into Herts and the Chilterns

🥾 Barnet Sundays plus two Wednesdays a month Social Day trips Long-distance Beginner-friendly

Most members of NLSH Ramblers live in Barnet, Enfield and Potters Bar, with easy access to the beautiful, varied countryside of Hertfordshire, the Chilterns and Essex. On Sundays there's usually a short walk of 5 to 8 miles and a longer one of 10 to 14 miles, plus a leisurely 3–4 mile social walk on two Wednesdays each month.

If you haven't walked much for a while, the short or social walks are a gentle place to start. Most walks are of moderate difficulty over undulating to hilly terrain, and car sharing is often available for the longer routes.

You'll always receive a warm welcome, whether you want to walk regularly or just from time to time.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Claire Donnelly · 7 June 2026 I sat silent at book club for months. Finding my voice there changed my whole life. I'd spent my whole life letting other people's opinions fill the room. A monthly book club, and one patient question, taught me that mine mattered too. Marcus Bennett · 9 June 2026 I can't do small talk. At a board game night, I finally didn't have to. Parties, pubs, the dreaded "so what do you do?" - I'd given up on meeting people. Then I sat down at a board game night and the talking just happened sideways. Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong.
