We are the Hillingdon Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We meet in The Mount car park in the ancient and pretty market town of Princes Risborough. Our walk goes through the town before ascending up to Whiteleaf Hill where the views are magnificent. We continue past the Plough pub at Cadsden which is a “local” for residents at Chequers - who may we spot having a quiet drink?! We continue through the attractive Grangelands Nature Reserve then along paths and through beech woods and arrive at the oldest Smock windmill in England. Our route back to the end takes us across five railways including a spectacular cutting and the heritage steam railway to Chinnor.
Some of the paths are steep and chalky so bring your walking sticks along. Some paths will be muddy so good walking boots will be required.
All are welcome but if you are not a regular walker with our group please bring along an emergency contact number.
We will stop for snacks and a picnic lunch on the way. Drinks and snacks are also available in town as we leave.
Some fields have horses so dogs will have to be on a lead.
Princes Risborough station is just a short walk from The Mount car park for those wishing to travel by train. The Mount car park is a pay and display car park. An all day ticket costs £3.70 and phone app or credit card payment is easy.
