For copyright reasons we can only reproduce the trail leaflet map. The cartography is the work of Bill Willett. It is technical problems that fail to fully justify his efforts here. However, the following references will take you to the Dacorum Borough Council's web site where you can see Berkhamsted's relationship to the Borough and the South-east of England.
