Sunday walk - Great Missenden to Amersham

Length: 10.1 miles (16.3 km) 
Difficulty: 5 out of 10

Trains: Take the 9.57 from London Marylebone arriving Great Missenden 10.40.
Trains back to London Marylebone from Amersham run hourly at xx.38.  You can also get the Metropolitan line from Amersham to King's Cross and various stops in between at xx.16 and xx.46.

Tickets: Amersham is in zone 9. A travelcard for zones 1-9 (or a Freedom Pass) and a rail single from Amersham to Great Missenden on the way out (see notes) would allow you to return by either tube or train.

This lovely Chilterns walk, only 40 minutes from London by train, makes an easy outing at any time of year. The route is more open than most Chilterns walks, but there is one large beech wood, Penn Wood, which produces fine autumn colours.
