Description

Hilly in places but also level stretches. 

Wonderful views across valleys. Footpaths and bridleways across nature reserves, fields and woodland and some quiet pretty village roads and pavement.

We will commence at a steady pace, soon increasing to brisk as we enjoy a very special route to Lacey Green via Callows Hill which in Spring and Summer would be filled with the flowers and butterflies of our chalky Chilterns. Cross a pretty part of the village of Lacey Green, climbing sharply at Turnip End to Flowers Bottom on the edge of Speen. Upper North Dean and across Naphill Common back to Bradenham where we will stop afterwards for refreshment at the Red Lion Tearooms where a good selection of hot and cold drinks and food are available for purchase.

Prepare

Dress appropriately for the weather, there could be mud so if it has been wet recently, walking boots will be essential. 

Walking poles recommended for those who use them.

Dress according to the weather, layers recommended and small rucksack for carrying. 

Dogs

Well behaved dogs are welcome and will need to be on a lead in some locations.

We will pass through fields which have potential for sheep, lambs, cows or horses.
