Overview

Starting at the NT car park in West Wycombe we will decend to cross the rail tracks and climb back up through Great Cookshall Wood to reach Bradenham before decending and recrossing the railway and heading up to Nobles farm. From here we walk through Hearnton Wood and open fields to arrive at Piddington, and then on to Wheeler End via the common. The final part of the walk takes us through both Great and Hellbottom Wood, with some beautiful views and plenty of spring flowers to admire, arriving back at West Wycombe via a final steep climb up to the Dashwood Mausoleum and back to our start point.
