Overview

A walk through the Chess Valley and the tranquil Chiltern Hills with some superb panoramic views.  The walk is undulating with a number of steep ascents.  For lunch the walk climbs up to the village of Chenies where there is a pub but bring a packed lunch. There is the Church of St Michaels in the village, former home of the Russell family, well worth a visit during the lunch break.

Afternoon walk parallel with the Chess valley passing Latimer House before eventually descending into Chesham.

Drop-out points: none.
