Chalk hills, ancient woodlands, and routes across southern England
Rolling chalk escarpments, beech woodlands, hidden valleys, and historic market towns create a landscape shaped by geology, farming, and centuries of travel. Stretching across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Oxfordshire, the Chilterns National Landscape offers a network of routes through some of southern England's most distinctive countryside.
Long-distance trails such as The Ridgeway, Thames Path, Icknield Way, and Chiltern Way pass through the landscape, linking places including Tring, Wendover, Princes Risborough, Henley-on-Thames, and Ashridge. Woodland tracks, chalk paths, quiet lanes, and hilltop routes reveal changing views across farmland, river valleys, and wooded slopes, creating journeys that feel both varied and deeply connected to the land.
Whether following an ancient trackway, exploring woodland trails, or walking between villages and viewpoints, the Chilterns rewards time spent on foot. Seasonal colour, far-reaching views, and a rich network of historic routes shape every journey, making it one of England's most accessible and rewarding landscapes for self-guided travel.
