Overview

Meet for a 10:15 start by The Lions of Bledlow pub (HP27 9PE). The pub is located on the B4009 between Chinnor and Princes Risborough.

A scenic circular walk through the Chiltern Hills, taking in stunning views across the Vale of Aylesbury. The route climbs steadily via ancient woodlands to Bledlow Ridge, then descends to Radnage where we'll stop for lunch at the historic St. Mary's Church - please bring a packed lunch. The return leg follows quiet country lanes and footpaths back to Bledlow.

The walk features some steep climbs and can be muddy in places, particularly after rain. We'll pass through traditional beech woodlands and open farmland, with impressive views throughout.

Difficulty: Moderate (several steep ascents and descents). Hiking poles recommended.

If you would like to walk with us please notify the walk leader by 7pm the day before the walk.
