These are my favourite walks in the Chiltern Hills, ones that I have usually done many times. They don't include any of my local walks around Kensworth, some of which are definitely amongst my favourite Chiltern walks. [UPDATE 19/7/14: I desperately need to update or replace this page, there are many walks on the 'Other Walks' page that are now just as much favourites of mine as the walks on this page]
The distances are those given by Google Maps, and are probably slightly inaccurate. I apologise if these pages are very slow to load.
WARNING: When I originally started writing up these walks, I didn't really intend them to be used as 'route descriptions' for other people to follow. However I am aware that a few people are using them that way, and I now try to make sure my descriptions give enough route details so that they can be followed. Unfortunately I have a dreadful tendency to get 'left' and 'right' confused. So if you want to try any of these walks yourself, I very strongly recommend that you try to follow the route description on a map first. If you do find (or think you find) any mistakes please let me know by email and I will make any corrections as soon as I can (usually I check emails every day).
UPDATE 19/02/17: I think the descriptions in the walks on this page are now good enough for other people to follow the route. I have replaced some of the descriptions with better ones from when I repeated the walk at a later date (which is why they are no longer in date order), and have checked all other the descriptions.
