Haddenham Circular, shorter route via Ashendon

#2026-05-27T10:02
T=swc.191
L=swc.191
LENGTH 20.1 km (12.5 miles)

TOUGHNESS  4/10

TRAINS Take the 10.02 Birmingham Moor St train from MARYLEBONE arriving at HADDENHAM at 10.40
Return trains at 15.36, 15.47, 16.33, and 16.49

Today’s route is the shorter version via Ashendon. 

The lunch pub is
https://www.theashtree.co.uk/  formerly known as the Hundred of Ashendon. It has reopened as a community pub and seems to be doing quite fancy food. Vegan Haloumi skewers, for example. Phone 01296 925980

TEA. THE CROWN in Cuddington, a lovely thatched pub is currently closed, though soon to be reopened having been bought by the local community. 
However, I have sourced another lovely thatched pub in a village also starting with a C around a mile away. 
This is 
https://thebellchearsley.co.uk/ , Chearsley, afternoon closing at 3pm!!

You could devise a shortcut from lunch to pass through this charming village (as seen in Midsomer Murders) and rejoin the morning route quite near the station. This would save a mile or more while also cutting out the long and somewhat tiresome Main Street of Haddenham.
