We are the Chiltern Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
An 11-mile fairly hilly circular walk in featuring charming woodland, rolling hills, and the picturesque village of Turville, most famous for its appearance in “Killing Eve” as Bletcham as well as “The Vicar of Dibley” (as Dibley).
Starting from the free car park in Lane End, just north of Marlow, we’ll head through a variety of beautiful woodlands, including Fining Wood, Mousells Wood, Hills Wood, and Hatchett Wood (to name just a few). Between these woods, we’ll traverse rolling hills that offer magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.
After skirting around Skirmett, we’ll ascend a short hill into Great Wood passing Binfield Bottom (where we will stop for lunch). We’ll briefly join Shakespeare’s Way for a few hundred metres before turning onto The Chiltern Way, which will lead us all the way into Turville. This quaint Buckinghamshire village has been a filming location for a wide variety of TV shows and films, including “The Vicar of Dibley” (Dibley) and, more recently, “Killing Eve” (Bletcham), both featuring Old Beams Cottage.
With views of the Cobstone Windmill (featured prominently in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”) in the background, we’ll continue on to Fingest and its magnificent Norman church. Weather and space permitting, we may stop for a quick drink in the garden of the Chequers pub. The final two miles back to Lane End take us through more fields, tracks, and woodlands, rounding off our walk.
This walk does feature a several hills, and although hopefully sun will hopefully have dried out all the recent rain, as is traditional on my walks it “may be muddy” so please come prepared.
