Chiltern Way

http://www.ramblers.org.uk/info/paths/chiltern.html

The Chiltern Way is a circular walking route of around 200 km (125 miles) and there are now three optional extensions taking the total route to a maximum of 278 km (172 miles). It is a wandering, varied and mostly rural way stretching around the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and passing through many pretty Chiltern villages.

There are over 60 guided walks on offer during the Walking Festival, in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire. These range from shorter walks taking a couple of hours, themed walks combined with a visit to a local attraction , and day walks covering 10 -13 miles.

All the walks are open to the public and they are all FREE.

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the beautiful countryside of the Chilterns, and to discover the Chiltern Way!

The programme will be updated on our website, where you will also find details of the route of the Chiltern Way.
