Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

Walking from Loudwater, once a village that harnessed water power to drive local factories in the industrial revolution. We cross the Flackwell Heath plateau passing through the village of Marlow Bottom, Marlow Common, plus Davenport, Homefields and Heath Woods.
There are some steep and more gentle ascents and descents.
It's the Chilterns, expect natural beauty... Chilterns National Landscape (formerly the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) takes in a variety of ancient woodlands, chalk grasslands and historic villages. Covering parts of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The Chiltern Way is a 177 mile circular route, with various extensions, highlighting the best features of the area.
No exit points. Dress suitably for the Chilterns, with a mind to the weather and wear good walking shoes. Please bring a packed lunch.
