Overview

A moderate-paced linear walk to Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station led by Pamela C (Mobile No: 07538 509205). An undulating walk via the Thame Valley Walk with pleasant vistas, passing Upper Winchenden, the Rothschild’s Waddesden Estate, Waddesden Manor situated on the prominent Lodge Hill, then passing through pasture, fields and woodland to arrive at Aylesbury VP Station. Lunch stop at Waddesden village, where there is a pub, coffee shop and church with a large grassy churchyard for picnic lunches. Please bring food with you, as there may not be time for a pub lunch. There are no drop-out points. Joint walk with Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster and Hammersmith, Fulham & Westminster Groups.  Map: E181, L165.
