Overview

After a gradual ascent we can look back across the fields for a fine view of Chesham Utd and beyond. We then have a short pavemented walk and cross over the main road at a crossing to descend slowly into ancient woods of Chesham Bois before strolling back by the River Chess at the end. May be muddy.
