Chesham - Ashley Green - Bovingdon - Chesham
Nice Chesham walk in lovely early autumn weather
9.21 Metropolitan train from Baker Street arriving Chesham 10.18
Chesham is within London fare zone making it valid destination for Freedom Pass holders on the Metropolitan Line. Return on Metropolitan Line from Chesham.
Once we have left Chesham we make a steepish climb into woods. At the top we have good views over Chesham Vale. Shortly after we reach Hog Lane where there’s a good chance of seeing yellowhammers in the hedgerow + an impressive oak tree which is over 150 years old. From here we walk to the village of Ashley Green. We then descend past disused Bovingdon airfield to lunch @ The White Hart in Whelpley Hill.
After lunch we pass by the remains of a Neolithic settlement, across farm land and footpaths before reaching the outskirts of Chesham & our way back to the station.
The White Hart in Whelpley Hill. A table has been booked 13.00 / 13.15 but no need to pre order food
