HIGHLIGHTS

• Circular from Haddenham & Thame Parkway over rolling hills of western Aylesbury Vale
• A delightful mix of woodlands, arable fields
• Slow ascents and descents linking 4 hilltop villages on remote paths
• Great views over 5 counties from hilltop village of Brill
• Thatched roofs and quaint pubs along the way.

This is a beautiful part of the Aylesbury Vale in Bucklnghamshire, with fantastic views, quaint villages, rolling hills, white cows and stallion horses.

The morning will be filled with meandering over open fields and a bracing for a slow uphill hike to the top of the hill at Brill for a great views and a pub stop – bring sandwiches as we are stopping for refreshments only.

In the afternoon, we will continue to another two villages of Ashendon and Nether Winchendon before we make our way back to Haddenham.

At 27.5km, it will be a long and energetic day out – and you will discover countryside which is very different to the normal meetup hikes and rewarded with quaint pubs with thatched roofs - and of course, there is a pub in Haddenham for post hike drinks!

ps. My walks make time to enjoy the views, take in local history and have time for taking photos
