Overview

The walk follows the Ridgeway passing by Pulpit Hill and Chequers then heads south mainly through woodland before turning back to Whiteleaf Hill. There is a steep downhill near the start of the walk, walking sticks  could be useful. Otherwise, like much of the Chillterns, the first half of the walk involves some short uphill sections, the rest is mainly flat or undulating. There is plenty of shade in the event of a hot summers day. Assistance Dogs only. TW Walk Leader SH 07942 376098
