Bring along your best smile, and your four-legged companions are equally welcome! Our thoughtful pitstops will keep you refreshed with snacks and water throughout the journey.

Our fun and experienced guides are always on hand to ensure your walk is not only enjoyable but truly memorable.

So why wait? Lace up your walking boots, and experience the magic of Hertfordshire's countryside and community with Challenge Central's circular Pub Loops. We promise once you've tried one, you'll be eager to join us for the next!

We meet at 8.30 at the lovely Three Horseshoes where we'll receive our morning cuppa and a bacon roll (or veggie alternative).   
We'll have a quick briefing from the guides before heading off at 9am sharp.
You can leave a small bag on the van that will never be far away whilst we're walking.   We'll then get to see the van at various intervals throughout the walk where we can top up with snacks and goodies!
As we near the end of the walk, we're treated to a beautiful glass of hot mulled wine together with a warm mince pie.    (A bottle of beer or glass of prosecco are also available and all part of the package). 
Once back at the pub the vast majority of walkers stay, chat and order some food from the pub, but this is optional but we do ask you to stay if you can to enjoy the lovely atmosphere on this incredibly social and fun 20km walk.    
Oh yes, we also provide dog treats for our 4 legged friends!

The Waggon Wheel

Join us for this challenging and yet fun and social circular walk from one of the most beautiful pubs in Hertfordshire.  Starting and finishing from the lovely Waggon & Horses in Gravely we will undertake a cross-country 22km walk taking in amazing views, rolling countryside and almost definitely a park or 2 that you didn't even know existed. 

The walk is professionally guided, fully supported both on foot by staff and also with a vehicle never too far away with numerous check points this walk won't fail to impress you. 

With food and drinks provided at the start, snacks throughout and a pint/wine at the end all included as part of the package, this fun, social walk represents amazing value for money.

Amy & Dan at The Waggon really spoil us and the menu back at this incredibly picturesque pub is fantastic!  (best burgers in Hertfordshire!)
