Overview

Take a break from Easter celebrations and join us for a circular walk from Princes Risborough station, with fewer steep ascents than you'd expect in the Chilterns.  We take in a less travelled path through Brush Hill and skirt Whiteleaf Hill (option to go to the summit if a majority wishes it, especially those who haven't sampled the fine view before).  We continue through the woods, out through Widmer Farm to Loosley Row and back across the fields.

Difficulty:
Moderate
Distance:
16.1km / 10.0mi
Ascent:
N/A
Type:
circular

Some ascents and descents, this being the Chilterns, but I've tried to avoid the steeper ones.  A good route for those who like a bit of distance without constantly having to face long upward paths.  Paths are mostly well maintained but be prepared for mud in or after rain, as well as tree roots and a few stiles towards the end.  Please bring a packed lunch.
