Overview

Welcome to the edge of the Chiltern Hills !! We meet on the Green outside the Red Lion PH in Great Offley. We follow the path past the pub before taking a steep descent down Chalk Hill in direction of Temple End and Wellhead and the Spring source of the River Hiz. We then head east passing Maydencroft Manor in the direction of Gosmore before changing direction and heading north towards the village of Charlton. We then find Windmill Lane for an initial steady climb before reaching Mimsbury Hill for a steep climb back to Great Offley and refreshments at the Red Lion.
