This collection of 20 short, circular walks in the Chilterns was put together with families in mind. Perfect for younger and older walkers, and those looking for a brief excursion; the shortest route is just over 11/2 miles and all are under 31/2 miles. Explore the woodland, farm fields, canals, rivers and, of course, rolling hills that make the Chilterns one of the most beautiful and varied places to walk. In this book you'll find routes that walk the flat valleys, circumnavigate hilltops and wind along the River Thames, with just a few gentle undulations. All walks include parking options, highlights, easy-to-follow numbered directions and suggestions for refreshment stops along the way.
