Overview

Join us for this circular walk starting from the delightful historic market town of Chesham, in the Chiltern Hills.  We will enjoy open countryside with far reaching views, woods and villages.  Expect hills, 2 stiles and some mud which is a little slippery in places.  Walking poles will be useful if you have them.

Bring a packed lunch.

This walk begins at Chesham Underground Station, Metropolitan Line. Chesham is on a branch line, so make sure to get the correct train. If arriving by car, we suggest parking in Water Meadow Car Park, Brook Court HP5 1LF - at time of writing, all day parking on Sunday is £1.20. We will be passing this way on our way out of town, so we can meet drivers and their passengers at the entrance to the Water Meadow car park - please let the Leaders know if you intend to join the walk at this point.
