Overview

A lovely Chilterns walk through open countryside, farmland, some woodland, including Penn Wood, the ancient village of Little Missenden, and finishing in Amersham old town. Four interesting churches along the way with a possibility of visiting one if open and time allows. Some slight hills but nothing very steep. Toilets available at Great Missenden Station.

Stop at The Squirrel Pub (for a drink only) and picnic nearby. Please bring a packed lunch.

Could be muddy in places. Care to be taken crossing two fairly busy small roads.

Possible drop out point at Little Missenden following a shorter route to Amersham.

No booking required.

Estimated finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
