Walk information

Great Offley Walk 1

Walk distance
3½ miles
Time
1.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This is a short but quite strenuous walk from the recreation ground in Great Offley.

You'll basically follow the Chiltern Way out of the village before descending the steep slopes of Chalk Hill.

When you reach Hoar's Lane you'll loop around and climb back up the track that takes you back to the start.

You'll then be rewarded for your efforts with a pub at the end of the track.

Walker review

Very overgrown paths were the biggest challenge and preventing our small dog enjoying it. Quite a dull route with not much to see compared to others. Lovely village though and the route was completely accurate.

If you have more time, this second route is basically a long extended version of the first walk.

You'll still descend down the Chiltern way, but this time you'll keep walking until you reach the pretty little village of Charlton where there is a nice pub for refreshments and the River Hiz.

After that you'll take the long footpath back through open countryside again and then the climb up the track to Great Offley where there's then another pub.

Great Offley Walk 3

The third route option is basically a longer extension of the second route.

You'll still enjoy the Chiltern way walk to Charlton with it's pub and river and you'll also still follow the same footpath back towards Great Offley.

However, instead of climbing back up the track, you'll follow more of the Chiltern Way for a longer and more scenic route back to the village and welcoming pub.
