Overview

A circular walk starting at Saunderton station passing Bradenham, Downley Common, lunch break at West Wycombe returning to Saunderton.   Two thirds of the walk is before the lunch stop.

Meet at London Marylebone station for the 08:52 am Chiltern Railways train to Saunderton.   Arriving at Saunderton at 09:51 am.  Return fare without railcards is £28.50.  Railcards and Senior TFL Oyster Cards can be applied.  Return trains from Saunderton to Marylebone are at 15:56 and 16:56 pm.

There are toilets at Marylebone Station and on the train.   There are no toilets at Saunderton Station.

The walk is moderate with some steep hills.   There is one stile close to the end of the walk.

Details for drop out points TBC.

Lunch will be at West Wycombe.   If you would like a pub lunch at the George and Dragon please inform me so I can book a table.  Website: https://www.georgeanddragonhotel.com/dine.

Picnics can be eaten on West Wycombe Hill which has good views across to High Wycombe.

As this is a shorter walk we will probably have time to visit the Hell Fire Caves at West Wycombe which are of interest.  Website: https://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/
