Walk with us

Set in the Chiltern Hills with acres of woodland, meadows and parkland to enjoy, and with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside, our walks are a great, sociable way to explore the outdoors.

Our walks easy to join and walk leaders are trained volunteers who will offer a warm welcome and provide support and reassurance along the way. We offer regular walks for people of different levels of ability.

To see the the grades of the walks download the walk programme leaflet below, so you can make sure the one you choose is right for you. The walks are taken at a steady pace to suit everyone so you don’t need to worry about being left behind, the walk leaders will ensure that the group stays together.

They take place at various locations across our Chiltern countryside and some finish at our café or another coffee stop providing a further great opportunity to relax and socialise.
