Chess Valley Walk
Rickmansworth
hiking trail
The Chess Valley Walk is a picturesque 10-mile countryside route connecting Rickmansworth to Chesham. Taking approximately four hours to complete, the trail leads walkers along the River Chess through scenic fields, open countryside, and quaint villages.
Commenters admire the scenic countryside landscapes and express enthusiasm for hiking the route. However, several walkers highlight practical drawbacks, specifically weak mobile phone reception, confusing trail signage, and recent issues with litter and overcrowding.
- Plan for roughly four hours to complete the full 10-mile route from Rickmansworth to Chesham.
- Download offline maps in advance due to spotty mobile signal and ambiguous signage.
- Pack out all personal rubbish to help keep the river trail clean.
- Head out early or on weekdays to avoid recent overcrowding along the path.
