This trip was both part of our walks based around the rail and underground stations of the Chilterns. On this one we explored the canal and green spaces around the Metropolitan Line spur to Watford. Croxley and Watford stations are only 2 km apart and not an exciting walk if you take the roads. The Grand Union Canal is a better option for walking the first kilometre then you can branch off onto the River Gade as you get into Watford Town. The much more interesting part of the trip is the section through Cassiobury Park and over the canal into Whippendell Woods. These both used to be part of the Cassiobury Estate.
