Located within a quiet area of the golf course, lovely bit of history and located honoured to those fallen

During WWI, Berkhamsted was used by troops to train for trench life on the continent. They would live in a nearby tented camp, stand parade on Kitchener’s Field, and trained on Berkhamsted and Northchurch Commons. These were officers from the Inns of Court Officers Training Corp., otherwise known as The Devil’s Own. These officers dug 13 miles of trenches here in training for the real thing that they would shortly face opposite enemy lines. These days there is an information board here, a memorial, and of course the trenches.

There is a lovely little weir on the River Chess here that's worth stopping by. Also, on the same pond, you will see stepping stones (called Steps of Heaven by some) if you'd like to walk across! A good few years ago, I used to live in the street right next to these ponds, so I can vouch for the fact that this is a great place to spend some time at, particularly in the summer.

This is a lovely place to have your rest at. The Common (the green) is, apparently, one of the 200 such commons in the Chiltern Hills. The beacon/brazier was erected here to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee in 2002. The Crown (the pub) is here to serve you if you'd like some food and/or drink.

its ok but muddy to get in and out of if you want to dip your feet during a hike

Chipperfield Common is a 117-acre (47 ha) area of former heathland that has developed into beautiful woodland since grazing stopped here in the 1930s. There are a quintet of ponds on the common, as well as eight ancient sweet chestnut trees. Evidence of a Neolithic history can be seen in the form of two Bronze Age burial mounds.

Legend has it that whoever walks on these steps without falling will be blessed with eternal life.
