We are the East Berkshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
On this walk, we will be skirting Pulpit Hill and Beacon Hill before making a steep ascent to the top of Coombe Hill. On our way we will pass through Grangelands and Pulpit Hill Nature Reserve, see the imposing Coombe Hill Monument to the Boer War and catch glimpses of Chequers, the Prime Minister's country residence. We'll pass through fields and varied woodland, follow the Ridgeway and the Icknield Way. Yes, it is hilly (total ascent 947ft) but you will be rewarded with spectacular, far-reaching views over the Aylesbury plain.
Parking, and lunch if you are staying, is at the Plough Inn, Lower Cadsden. Lunches need to be pre-ordered before we set off.
The Plough Inn, Longdown Hill, Cadsden, Princes Risborough HP27 0NB. The Plough is on the south side and at the bottom of Longdown Hill. If you are approaching from the east, opposite the pub, take a sharp left, hairpin turn to find the car park entrance just past the pub.
