Ivinghoe Beacon to Wendover, The Ridgeway the Other Way
Departure from Ivinghoe (Buckinghamshire)

Wendover to Watlington, The Ridgeway the Other Way
Departure from Wendover (Buckinghamshire)
The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from NE to SW. This Stage 2 is the most undulating with several climbs in and out of valleys and is, therefore, the most strenuous part of The Ridgeway.

It goes along the bottom edge of the Chilterns scarp and passes Watlington Hill.

Across the Chilterns: Chesham to Wendover
Departure from Chesham (Buckinghamshire)
A linear walk from Chesham to Wendover climbing to the top of the Chiltern escarpment with spectacular views over the Oxford plains from the top of Coombe Hill. The Chiltern Hills are the main point of interest - you walk up one side, to the shoulder, then back down to civilisation. The physical nature of the geography and geology makes this walk feel bigger than it is.
From Hemel Hempstead station
Departure from Dacorum (Hertfordshire)
Starting from Hemel Hempstead Station this is a walk which can be enjoyed without a car. The station is right on the edge of the town so virtually all the route is through the open country, much of it through Boxmoor Trust land, on the plateau of the Chilterns and along the Grand Union Canal. There are lots of reminders of the history of the area from 1594 through WWII. If you are lucky you may see a couple of rare farm breeds kept on Trust land and some interesting birds along the canal.
