A bestseller from the day it was first published, PUB WALKS IN THE CHILTERNS has again been updated. If you enjoy both walking and visiting country pubs, this book should appeal. The pubs have been selected for their good food and the routes give the walker the opportunity to experience some of the truly glorious countryside in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire.
The circular walks vary in length from 3 to 5 miles and each is described in detail, together with accompanying sketch map and information on how to get to the start and where to park.
Highlights include:
An iconic route at Butler's Cross, taking you to the summit of Coombe Hill
The exquisite woodlands of Hambleden (perfect for spring bluebells)
Peaceful waterside walks in the Chess valley, and along the canal at Marsworth
Some of the Chilterns' most beautiful villages, including Turville, Skirmett and Fingest (all on one walk), Bledlow and more
Wooded hillsides of Ashridge and the slopes of Pitstone Hill at Aldbury
Quintessential English pubs, such as The Full Moon at Hawridge, The Lions of Bledlow and The Boot at Sarratt
