Walking

We are all encouraged to take more exercise; walking, with its relatively low impact on one’s s body, is a simple and free way of doing so. We organise a full programme of walks throughout the year, which is designed to improve both physical and mental health, as well as boost community spirit and involvement.

Join us for
• Half day walks on Sundays and selected days throughout the working week
• Long half day walks on the first Sunday of every month
• Whole day walks on the second Sunday and second Wednesday of every month

Occasionally, we also organise special, one-off events, including walks to locations of interest, like manor houses, Lacey Green Windmill, museums, etc., and we regularly organise Christmas and Easter walks with lunch… For full details about our walks programme, including when and where to meet, and the route, please navigate to News & events > What, Where & When > Walks.

Because of the popularity of our walks, there is a constant demand for walks organisers – you only need know your area. Please contact Judy Sonley on 01494 712857 if you’re interested in organising a walk.

In addition to our programme of organised walks, we have well over 40 Chilterns walk leaflets for you to download and enjoy for FREE. Navigate to Shop > Leaflets (free) for more information.

 
You may have noticed a variety of new signs, such as: ‘Public Highway’, ‘Other Routes with Public Access’, ‘Restricted Byway’ and ‘Statutory Open Access Land’.

There is quite a lot of open access land in the Chilterns and all the recent Ordnance Survey Explorer maps show this.
