These walks start from the village of Stokenchurch, just over the border into Buckinghamshire, and explore the surrounding Chiltern Hills with their mix of woodland, open fields, and rolling countryside.

Expect plenty of climbing throughout, with rewarding views and varied terrain across all three routes.

Whether you choose the shorter northern loop through High and Crowell Woods, the extended version with Collier’s Lane, or the longer southern adventure through Penley Wood and Hartmoor Wood, these walks offer a challenging but enjoyable day out with a few pub options near the start for post-walk refreshments.

This walk is an extension of the first route and our choice pick from Stokenchurch.

It still enjoys all the of the pretty woodland walking of the first route, but to make up some extra mileage, it rewards you with a lovely walk along the gorgeous Collier's Lane.

This final alternative walking route is an epic adventure that takes you south of Stokenchurch.

It heads under the M40, and then on to a lovely circular route through Penley Wood, visiting the hamlet of Idstone and Hartmoor Wood, before returning back to the start.

There are plenty of hills on this long route, so please go prepared with refreshments and energy!

Walker review

Mid length walk with lots of woodland (shaded parts). A couple of nice viewpoints. However, the route is a bit inaccurate in parts, and one part I had to cut through private property as the path was nowhere to be seen.
