Description
A varied walking area near London.
The Chiltern Hills offer open chalk hills, ancient woodlands, and villages with distinct local character. This guide demonstrates that a walking holiday does not require high mountains or vast distances between destinations. You may choose a single base or utilize the book for individual excursions while traveling through Southern England.
35 walks of varying daily lengths.
Steve Davison describes routes approximately four to twelve English miles in length. These largely traverse low-lying terrain, though several feature noticeable ascents and descents. Maps and route descriptions assist in selecting a length and terrain suitable for your walking party, and in understanding the connection between open viewpoints and more sheltered woodland stretches.

Amersham, Henley-on-Thames, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, and Tring are among the region’s locations. The book provides a wide selection of entry points to the Chilterns and assistance with practical trip planning. Spring blooms, villages, and the ancient woodlands make it worthwhile to allocate time for more than just the walk itself.
Who is this book suitable for?
This guide is suitable for regular, experienced walkers who wish to explore an accessible English landscape with varied walk lengths. The area offers excellent walking opportunities throughout the year. Spring and early summer bring blooms, autumn offers forest colors, and clear winter days often provide good views. Wet underfoot conditions and some steep hills should be considered when selecting the day’s route.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who sought to share their thorough knowledge of routes—a tradition that continues to characterize these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
