Explore The Chilterns on foot
Twenty short walks through the rolling hills, woods, villages and historic towns of the Chilterns and surrounding country. Despite lying close to London, the routes quickly reach quiet lanes, downland, parkland and attractive villages rich in literary, political and film connections.
The walks include Wendover, Ivinghoe, Hambleden, Turville, Great Missenden, Hughenden, Whipsnade and Berkhamsted, with excursions to Oxford and St Albans. Along the way are associations with Benjamin Disraeli, Roald Dahl, Thomas Gray and other notable figures, while familiar film and television locations add another layer of interest to the landscape.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information covering distance, gradient, difficulty, approximate walking time, parking, paths, facilities and places for refreshments.
