Stargazer is away
Length: 24.1 km (15.0 mi) [shorter walk possible]
Ascent/Descent: 692m
Net Walking Time: 6 ¼ hours
Toughness: 7/10
To shorten: walk the ‘normal’ version (17.5 km/10.8 mi, 4/10)
or even the ‘short’ version of this walk.
Take the 09.07 Oxford train from Marylebone (09.18 Wembley
Stadium, 09.30 Denham etc.), arrives Saunderton 09.58. For
the shorter walks, the 10.07 is sufficient.
Return trains are on xx.54.
The standard version of this walk combines a fairly easy stroll in The Chilterns through a mixture of
woodland and sloping meadows, with an optional visit to Hughenden Manor and Hell-Fire (West Wycombe) Caves.
The route heads south east over the Chiltern Hills to Bradenham, and continues
through Naphill Common, and Flagmore Wood to Hughenden Manor. The route from
Hughenden heads west across Downley Common to West Wycombe lunch/early
tea. Today’s walk will then extend this by a westerly loop to Wheeler End,
adding a fair bit more undulation to it, before picking up the standard walk
again in Hearnton Wood.
Lunch/Tea:
The Chequers
in Wheeler End (16.3 km/10.1 mi, under new
management).
The Golden Cross
in Saunderton (under new management, at the
end of the walk).
