Pete's Walks - The Chiltern Hills

I live on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, and I think they are a great area for walking - rolling hills, lots of woods, picturesque villages and lots of sites of historic interest. Here are a few walks I have done in the Chiltern Hills - they are usually walks I have done several times. I have separated the page into two sections - firstly walks close to my home in Kensworth (South Beds), secondly walks further afield in the Chilterns .

Other walks in this area, especially shorter walks local to my home in Kensworth appear in the 'Latest Walks' section.

The distances are those given by Google Maps, and are probably slightly inaccurate. I apologise if these pages are very slow to load on a dial-up internet connection.

Click HERE to see a  map showing the (very approximate) locations of the local walks I've done around Kensworth. The lines are not intended to show the actual routes of the paths, they generally just link the two most distant points the path visits, to give a rough idea of where the path goes. If you select a line and click on the associated link it will take you to the relevant page of my web site, where you will find a link to a proper map of the route.
