South Bank Ramblers

Wed 29th JUL 2026 - WENDOVER CIRCULAR WALK VIA CHEQUERS AND GREAT KIMBLE - Richard H.

This beautiful and at times hilly walk through the Chilterns includes Combe Hill  the highest point  in the area with spectacular views on clear days. The walk also passes close to Chequers which is the Prime Minister's weekend retreat. We walk through delightful Chiltern landscapes which include wooded valleys. There are stiles to navigate over and a short but very steep descent from Combe Hill.
