Overview

Join us for a moderate walk with some short steep hills, starting in Wendover Woods. We will be walking parts of the Chiltern Way and the Ridgeway through Pavis, Black and Northill Woods nature reserve, across farmland with livestock and out to St Leonards. When we reach St Leonards we will stop for a drink at the White Lion and if the weather is clear we can enjoy the beautiful views from their pub garden. 

Please bring a packed lunch and we will stop to eat somewhere along the route. 

Please keep any dogs on a short lead and be mindful of giving other people and dogs space in case they do not like dogs.
