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.

Liam Carver · 17 June 2026 Burnout took me apart. A beginner running club is how I put myself back together. I pushed myself until I broke, then sat at home ashamed and flat. Learning to run slowly, with no one keeping score, taught me that showing up gently beats winning. Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself. 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.
