A good walk in the glorious Chilterns countryside can have a powerful positive impact on our mental health. So, grab some boots and give yourself a boost – and help to support the Riverside Counselling Service, a local charity dedicated to providing affordable counselling and psychotherapy to adults and young people.
On this circular 7 mile walk we step out to explore the Hambleden Valley and surrounding hills. It’s a hilly one with two long climbs, steep in places (total ascent 850ft / 260m), but we will take our time with plenty of discoveries along the way! This is England at its best – Chilterns countryside, rolling hills, towering beech woods, a sparkling chalk stream an idyllic picturesque village with brick and flint cottages and a thriving pub. Join us and experience why this is such a favoured spot for so many, including TV and movie makers!
