Woodoaks Farm is a great place to go for a nice short circular walk.

Download a map of the Woodoaks Farm Trail here.

Woodoaks farm is in Maple Cross, Rickmansworth in the Northern part of The Colne Valley Park and has a short walk amongst farm and woodland, with great views and wildlife to enjoy. The walk is around one mile in length and takes you on a public footpath around the top of the farm grounds. Along the way you will pass Black Barn, which is a 16^th Century barn and a precious piece of history.  The path leads you through Lady Walk wood and from here you can access further longer walks or return back around the fields to the Black Barn.  The farm has several animals to see, as well as many farmland birds and other wildlife to enjoy.
