Overview

Familiar but attractive paths from Knowl Hill, starting with a short (70m) ascent, then down on to the Chiltern Way, across undulating farmland, and back down to our start point through High Knowl Wood. Possibly muddy in places so boots and poles recommended. Parking can sometimes be busy at the start point (the Five Stars lay by off A4) so allow time to find a space.
