Walk in the Chilterns + Tea & cake

Join us for an afternoon walk in the Chilterns. It is about 5½ miles long, takes in parts of the Chiltern Way and Shakespeare's Way, and includes an attractive wooded valley to the East of Hambleden, and some panoramic views. Valleys have sides, so it is hilly in parts.

Set in the heart of the southern Chilterns Hambleden is a picturesque village that has been the location for several films and TV series. Tea and cake provided by volunteers are available at the church on Sunday afternoons in the summer. From past experience the cakes are excellent, and very good value for money, which goes towards church maintenance. We should be back in time to enjoy them after the walk.

Anyone considering eating at the Stag & Huntsman first, or possibly the Farm Kitchen just outside Henley, is welcome to post a message under 'Comments' below asking if others want to join them.

Those who aren't FULL MEMBERS OF THE CLUB (filled in a form and paid the annual fee), or members of another IVC, will be asked to make a small contribution to the running of the group (e.g. £2).

Directions:

Take the A4055 out of Henley towards Marlow. After about 2.8 miles turn left at Mill End onto Skirmett Road. After 0.9 miles fork right into the lane into Hambleden (signed to Pheasant's Hill), past the memorial in front of the church, then keep straight ahead past the pub and into the car park behind it on your right. It is pay & display, and will cost £3 for 4 hours.
