Terrain: A delightful and largely flat walk, exploring expansive common land, peaceful riverside paths, and open countryside. Paths are a mix of mown grass tracks across the common, natural earth paths alongside the river and through fields, and some quiet country lanes. Expect paths, particularly across the common and by the river, to be muddy and prone to puddles, especially after rain or during wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and waterproof footwear is advisable.
Accessibility: Due to the often muddy and uneven natural paths, and sections along country lanes, this walk is generally not suitable for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs for the full loop.- Get Directions:

Dog-Friendliness: Colney Heath Common offers a fantastic and very dog-friendly walk, blending open common land with tranquil riverside trails and rural countryside! Dogs are welcome throughout much of the route. However, it is crucial to be highly mindful of the common's status, the presence of grazing livestock, sensitive wildlife, and shared use with other commoners and occasional traffic.
