Where two major drovers' routes cross (1301)

Cattle were driven long distances to the growing market in London. The route from mid-Wales to Barnet crossed the route from the Midlands to Uxbridge on Amersham Common. This nine-mile circular walk will explore evidence on the ground and on old maps as we walk key parts of both routes. There are two drovers' inns on the route including The Ivy House where we will stop for a sandwich lunch (cost not included). The route crosses the River Misbourne and the climb out of the valley affords stunning views towards Amersham.
