Overview

This walk has some moderate hills but the pace will be leisurely rather than brisk. It may be muddy in places. Walking boots essential. Walking poles recommended.

We will start along a woodland path and stop for a 30 minute lunch break and toilets at Wendover Woods Forest England Visitor Centre at about 12.45pm.  

After lunch we'll continue to Aston Hill, visit the plaque marking the origin of Aston Martin , around Daniel's Hole and past Chiltern Forest Golf Club, past RagPits and through Cobblers Pits nature reserves, to join the towpath of the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal. We'll return to the car-park along the bottom of Halton Woods and Wendover Woods.

Please bring a packed lunch or you may prefer to purchase a snack at the visitor centre.

Well behaved dogs allowed. Some may be disturbed by the proximity of the rifle range if operating
