We are the Chiltern Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This gentle afternoon walk explores the countryside and villages around Princes Risborough, taking in local history and easy-going paths. Starting from the Mount car park, we head out on a relaxed route that links the villages surrounding the town.
We pass the former home of pioneering aviator Amy Johnson, before continuing to the attractive villages of Horsenden and Bledlow with their churches providing a sense of the area’s rural character and a natural place to pause along the way. The terrain is easy and mostly level, with only very gentle climbing spread across the route. We return to Princess Risborough via the Phoenix Trail, a long-distance route created on the former railway line between Princess Risborough and Thame
This is a post-lunch walk after the Area AGM in the morning, check the Ramblers website for details of the event if you'd like to find out more about Ramblers activities all over Bucks, W. Middx and Milton Keynes. Please note that we cross live railway lines several times, so care will be needed at these points. Dogs are welcome on leads. We aim to finish back at the Mount car park by around 4.00 pm, rounding off a calm and friendly winter walk.
