This Cicerone guidebook describes 35 varied day walks in the Chilterns, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in southern England. These chalk hills and ancient woodlands stretch from Reading and the Thames valley through Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire to Luton. The selected walks, which range from 4 to 12 miles, are suitable for walkers of all abilities. The landscape of the walks range from undulating rounded hills and valleys, to woodland and open farmland. The walks visit interesting historic sites, colourful gardens and picture-postcard villages with thatched cottages, fascinating churches and cosy pubs. For each walk there are step by step route directions that are illustrated with clear OS mapping and vibrant photographs.
