For a shorter walk follow the canal towpath

Over open moorland and through ancient woodland this walk gives you the chance to explore the riches of Croxley Common Moor and beyond. To make the most out of the Moor why not wander around the path network that criss-crosses the site. You can re-join the main route at any of the gates or stiles on the Ebury Way.

During the Summer months you may come across cattle grazing lazily on the Moor. By eating coarse vegetation they create the conditions that allow a vast array of flowers to flourish. Without the cattle, the Common Moor would eventually become covered in scrub woodland and this rich and open landscape would be lost.
