Chinnor Hill via Bledrow Ridge Circular Walk (9 miles)

Join Us for a Scenic 9-Mile Hike Through the Beautiful Chilterns!

Embark on a memorable adventure as we explore the stunning landscapes, rich history, and charming villages of the Chilterns. This is more than just a walk—it’s an immersive experience through tranquil woodlands, picturesque estates, and scenic hillsides.

We’ll begin and end our journey in the delightful village of Chinnor Hill, known for its quaint stone cottages and serene countryside setting. From there, we’ll set off from the Nature Reserve Car Park, heading east along the ridge towards the top of Chinnor Hill. As we descend, we’ll pass through picturesque farmland, looping around Wain Hill and The Cop, before joining the famous Ridgeway Footpath.

Continuing past Lodge Hill, we’ll make our way to the charming village of Rout’s Green and then head towards Bedlow Ridge for a well-earned pub stop.

Around the halfway point, we’ll take a break for lunch and snacks, allowing you to relax and recharge before continuing on. After our rest, we’ll make our way through the scenic villages of Radnage, passing Andridge Farm and Common, before finishing our journey through the beautiful Crowell Wood, returning to our starting point.

Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water.
Walking boots or suitable footwear for hiking is required.
