This is a Buckinghamshire walk with plenty of variety. It starts along a section of the Ridgeway with terrific views over the Vale of Aylesbury. It continues through typical Chiltern beech woods and then at the end goes through a more agricultural landscape. There are plenty of places for refreshment in Wendover, but not, any more, in the villages en route.
