Join us for this rewarding Chiltern walk from Wendover to Missenden offering sweeping views, rich history and varied scenery. Climbing to the Coombe Hill Monument, we’ll enjoy panoramic views before continuing along the ridge towards Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country retreat. The route then weaves through ancient woodlands and follows the Iron Age Grim’s Ditch, finishing near the historic Hampden House. A perfect mix of heritage, natural beauty, and countryside charm, topped off by a drink or two in a local pub.
