This was the latest in our series of circular walks taking in sections of the South Bucks Way, Chiltern Heritage Trail and the River Misbourne. The guidance below will help you navigate but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide. Always take a map and/or a GPX route and prepare well for the weather and terrain.

This section starts at the Red Lion pub, opposite Coleshill All Saints Church. From here follow the Chiltern Heritage Trail for in a northerly direction for 3 km to Old Amersham. After crossing the High Street and through the grounds of St Mary’s church you’ll reach the River Misbourne. Continue following the Chiltern Heritage Trail as it takes a right turn following the flow of the river. After Tesco, carefully cross over Station Road, then the A355 and under the A413, now heading south-east along the Misbourne. You’ll cross over the Misbourne on a small wooden bridge and join the South Bucks Way.

Approximately 3 km after crossing under the A413 the path meets the Chiltern Way. Here you’ll leave the Chiltern Heritage Trail and take a right turn following the Chiltern Way up the hill. Follow the Chiltern Way in a westerly direction for 4 km along paths and through farmland back to the start at Coleshill. Be careful when crossing the A355 as it’s very busy.
