Overview

This is an up to 4.5 mile, circular moderate route from Wendover, through the woods via Upper Bacombe and Low Scrubs, to the Ridgeway with outstanding views from Lodge Hill, Coombe Hill Monument and Bacombe Hill onto the golf course below and countryside beyond. Included is an interesting close-up of HS2 construction site. The ramble has several uphill and downhill stretches. It could be muddy in parts and slippery particularly on the chalk escarpment descent (walking poles suggested). No stiles. Afterwards we may indulge in a brew and cake at one of Wendover’s splendid teashops.
