Join the CYW for a leisurely ramble ahead of our Annual Gathering (link here to event which follows directly after this walk and we'd LOVE for you to join us for that too: https://www.chilterns2030s.org.uk/walks/our-walks?walkid=100280356)

Starting off at the Link Road Car Park (3 mins' walk from Gt Missenden station - £2.20 for 3 hours' parking, £3.80 if you are coming to the AGM as well), we'll be taking one of Beth's favourite routes through the quiet back lanes, gorgeous woodland and open fields above Great Missenden. There's a gentle climb for the first third or so, followed by a lovely flat section through open fields towards Little Kingshill - note it could be a bit muddy if it's rained recently!

Once we've descended back into Gt Missenden we're treated to a glorious view of Missenden Abbey and the older part of the village as we head to the pub.

The walk will end at The Cross Keys in Great Missenden for a well-deserved drink.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring plenty of water. There's an opportunity to get a late lunch at The Cross Keys afterwards as they are serving food all day and we have a reserved area.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must remain on a lead at all times.
