Overview

Enjoy our beautiful Chess Valley.  After walking along the picturesque Chess heading towards Little Chalfont for half a mile or so we will come to Holloway Lane by the Dump and then cross over to head up, climbing steadily through the fields to Big Round Green.  This is a copse owned by the Woodland Trust where we will stop for our halfway stop having done all our climbing uphill.  We then will walk across the plateau to Dungrove Farm where we will then head downhill back into Chesham Town.  After strolling through the park we will follow the Chess as a small stream to arrive at Water Meadow and then follow it towards Christchurch back to the start.
