This walk takes a completely different route to the Book 2 Classic Tring to Berkhamsted. The start follows the Grand Union Canal, then you walk through ancient woodland and commons, passing chimneyed lodges and an impressive college building. You enjoy extensive Chiltern views, pass some trenches dug by World War I soldiers, to finish in Berkhamsted at a waterside pub.
Trains: London Euston 10:09, arrives Tring 10:51. Return trains at xx:20, xx:28, xx:50, xx:58. Buy a day return to Tring.
Lunch: Bridgwater Arms, Little Gaddesden. Food served all day, tel 01442 842408.
There are several pubs along the canal in Berkhamsted. For cafes head to the town centre, you can also get hot drinks at the station.

As reported to me:
Just n=1 alighted from the appointed train at Tring. The weather was windy with light rain. The rain steadily got worse until Tom's Hill was reached whereupon both wind and rain eased. Wet under foot especially along the canal. Arrived at the Bridgewater Arms at 13.15 with the Muzak system playing The Battle Hymn of the Republic(!) for an acceptable lunch.
Walked to Ashridge House & stopped for a cuppa ☕️ (and let the rain pass).
Rain eased. Arrived Berkhamsted at 16.30 for 16.50 train
