Walk 104: Standon South Loop

5 miles (8.2 km) with 132m total ascent

Cows paddling in the River Rib between points 3 and 4 below

This is a lovely circular route along two sides of the River Rib valley, with wonderful wide-open views across the rolling Hertfordshire countryside. Along the walk you cross the river several times at footbridges adjacent to fords where there are opportunities for dogs, kids, and older folk to dip their feet in the water. It’s quite a hilly route with a total of 410ft of ascent over the course of the five miles. But the climbing is worth it for the views. There are several sympathetically placed benches along the way. The route includes parts of The Harcamlow Way and The Greenwich Meridian Trail.

Note: If you are planning to do this walk in July, please check the Standon Calling website first. Standon Calling is an annual music festival which occupies part of the route and could result in paths being closed.
