Overview

Starting at Cow Common, we take the track to Down Farm, then join Swans Way and travel over the earth works to Dean Wood. Heading downwards, we reach the Ridgeway, which we take to Ridge Farm. Now heading up hill past Dame Alice Farm, using the leafy Shakespears Way to Cookley Green. Now using the Chiltern Way, we walk through woods to Swyncombe and then Ewelme Park. From here we head back over fields and tracks to Ewelme.
