π΄πΆπ» Hike: Wendover, Chiltern Hills via Coombe Hill & Chequers Trail ππ
Details
A beautiful walk through the rolling Chiltern Hills, an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Our route passes by Chequers, the historic country residence of the serving Prime Minister since 1921. The current mansion dates back to around 1565, believed to have been built on (or reconstructed from) an even earlier house. Weβll also explore sections of the Coombe Hill & Chequers Trail, taking in wide open countryside, peaceful woodlands, and classic Chiltern views that make this area such a favourite for walkers.
