Distances

 

This page is for those who want to walk a specific distance or climb a certain height and need help finding suitable walks.

Below you will find two lists. Each distance and elevation range in the lists has a number alongside in brackets; this indicates how many walks in our collection are within that range.

Just click the green highlighted link for the distance or elevation that meets your need and a page will appear showing all the walks of that length or climb.

Scroll through the list of walks and choose one that fits the bill. Some walks, where we have offered short or long options, appear in more than one category. All walks are free to download and enjoy on any device.

• 13-18 miles = 21km-30km (2)
• 18-26 miles = 30km-41.8km (1)

Choose the total elevation for your walk

• 0m-25m = 0-85ft (8)
• 25m-50m = 85ft-164ft (31)
• 50m-75m = 164ft-246ft (50)
• 75m-100m = 246ft-328ft (60)
• 100m-125m = 328ft-410ft (53)
• 125m-150m = 410ft-492ft (33)
• 150m-175m = 492ft-574ft (10)
• 175m-200m = 574ft-656ft (8)
• 200m-225m = 656ft-738ft (7)
• 225m-250m = 738ft-820ft (1)
• 250m-275m = 820ft-902ft (1)
• 300m-325m = 984ft-1066ft (0)
• 525m-550m = 1722ft-1804ft (1)

We have an interactive map which colour-codes the walks in groups based on their total elevation. Yellow icons represent walks with a total elevation of between 1 and 50m, red = 50-100m, green = 100-150m, blue = 150-200m, and purple = more than 200m.

How to use the map

When you click on the small coloured icons on the map above a box will appear with a brief description of the walk and a link to the directions, maps and GPS navigation files.

Click on small white rectangle on the right in the black navigation bar to reveal a full-sized map. You can now zoom in on the map (using the + button) to find walks in the area you want to explore. There are markers showing the starting point for all 250 free walks.

Alternatively you can click on the small white rectangle with an arrow on the left of the black navigation bar to reveal a menu listing all the 250 walks grouped in the four colour categories.

If you have no intention of ever walking eight miles or more you can just uncheck that option and all those walks will disappear from the map. The same is true with any of the colour-coded categories. The light blue shaded area on the map is the Hertfordshire boundary. You can also turn that 'layer' off, too by unchecking the option.
