This is a classic Chilterns walk which should hopefully be showing some nice autumnal color. It is an undulating route with some nice vantage points and an Iron Age fort. You can find more information about the walk and download the walk instructions here.
The recommended lunch pub is the Red Lion in Whiteleaf (01844 344476), about 6 miles/10 km into the walk. Back in Wendover, tea and other bevies can be had a variety of establishments – chocolate shop, cheese shop and pub!
Enjoy the walk!

n=14 meeting at Wendover station in w=warm-partly-sunny conditions. This is a great autumn walk and certainly did not disappoint with plenty of trees starting to change into their autumn colors...We had a leisurely morning spotting various fungi in the woods. Most dined at the Red Lion which which dealt with our sudden arrival well... After lunch some explored a different route up Coombe Hill through the woods on the Princes Risborough to Wendover book 1 walk. About half the group reassembled at the Shoulder of Mutton in Wendover for a bevie before catching the 18:55. A great autumnal day out!
