Overview

We start from the West Wycombe church car park.  The church is famous for its golden ball, which you used to be able to go in but not now, and the meetings of the "Hell fire club".  From there we follow the footpath through Heamton wood until we reach Slough Bottom farm.  From here we drop off the ridge down to Bradenham, near the manor.  We return via Great Cookshall wood.

This is the church car park and not the pay car park near what used to be a garden centre. From the western end of West Wycombe, start to go onto the A4010, but turn right immediately. Follow the road up hill past the school and the caves.
