Amersham Circular via Chalfont St Giles | 🇬🇧 Hiking UK | England | Zone 9 Travelcard
An easy walk along gentle hills above the Misbourne valley to the attractive village of Chalfont St Giles.
Length: 13.5km (8.4 miles)
Toughness: 3 out of 10
OS Maps: Landranger Map 165, 175. Explorer 172
Walk Notes A pleasant and undemanding Chilterns walk goes out along one side of the Misbourne valley and back along the other. Amersham is at the end of the Metropolitan Line , so this walk can be done with an Oyster Card / Zone 1-9 Travelcard.
Halfway round, there are several possible lunchtime pubs in the attractive town of Chalfont St Giles. A recent walk report on the usual place, Merlins Cave, wasn't particularly encouraging and you might want to try a small pub called the Fox and Hounds on the lane leading out of the town.
In Old Amersham, Seasons Cafe Deli (formerly Carringtons) is worth seeking out for tea; there are also several pubs in this part of the town but nothing much up by the station.

The Chiltern Heritage Trail: Great Missenden to Chesham Vale 10 July 2020
An 11.5 mile walk along the Chiltern Heritage Trail from Great Missenden to Chesham Vale via the iron age fort at Cholesbury. There was also an additional mile of walking from Chesham Vale to get into Chesham town from where I caught a bus.This is a day I will never forget because the first part of the walk was severely affected by the works for the new HS2 rail line. The walk took place in good weather on Friday 10 July 2020.

Gerrards Cross is a town and civil parish in the South Bucks district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the south of the county, separated from the London Borough of Hillingdon at Harefield by Denham. London is centred 19 miles east. Geographically large and suburban, Gerrards Cross is south of Chalfont St Peter and north of Fulmer and Hedgerley. It spans foothills of the Chiltern Hills and land on the right bank of the River Misbourne — it has a central public park, Gerrards Cross Common and Bulstrode Park Camp, a preserved area of land which was an Iron Age fortified encampment.
The town has a railway station on the Chiltern main line whose operator provides a fast service from the station to London and the M40 motorway is beside woodland on the southern boundary of the civil parish and the settlement has a commercial and leisure central area which is smaller than the nearby town of Beaconsfield.
The town name is new compared with the great bulk of English towns. Gerrards Cross did not exist in any formal sense until 1859 when it was formed by taking pieces out of the five parishes of Chalfont St Peter, Fulmer, Iver, Langley Marish and Upton to form a new ecclesiastical parish. It is named after the Gerrard family who in the early 17th century owned a manor here. At that time homes which were not farms were smallholdings clustered in a hamlet in the south of an elongated parish of Chalfont St Peter. Near its centre is site of an Iron Age minor hillfort, Bulstrode Park Camp, which is a scheduled ancient monument Originally named Jarrett's Cross before the times of the Gerrard family, after a highwayman.
The large and distinctive parish church is dedicated to St. James. It was built in 1861 as a memorial to Colonel George Alexander Reid[citation needed] who was MP for Windsor and designed by Sir William Tite in yellow brick with a Byzantine style dome, Chinese looking turrets and an Italianate Campanile. In 1969 the singer Lulu married Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in the church. The actress Margaret Rutherford is buried with her husband Stringer Davis in the St James Church graveyard. The town has its own library, various restaurants and its own cinema, the Everyman Gerrards Cross.
Independent schools include Maltman's Green School (all girls), St Mary's, Gayhurst and Thorpe House. Students of secondary school age attend either one of the local grammar schools, such as Dr Challoner's Grammar School (Boys), Dr Challoner's High School (Girls), The Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe (Boys), John Hampden Grammar School (Boys), and Beaconsfield High School (Girls) Chesham Grammar School (Co-ed), or the local Upper School, Chalfonts Community College, which is the catchment school.
On the south side of the town is the Gerrards Cross Memorial Building, on the site of the former vicarage. The building was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1922 to commemorate the town's losses during the First World War. It is the only example of a Lutyens war memorial designed with a functional purpose.
Just outside Gerrards Cross, on the A40 to Beaconsfield, is Wapseys Wood landfill site, one of the largest landfill sites in the UK, operated by Veolia Landfill Ltd. It accepts up to 900,000 tonnes of non hazardous waste each year from south Buckinghamshire, London and other areas. The landfill gas produced from the waste yields over 10 megawatts of electricity which is fed into the power grid.

Tring Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Hertfordshire, and around 30 miles northwest of central London, is the town of Tring.
Geographically Tring is situated at the edge of the Chiltern Hills where the ancient Icknield Way crosses the Roman Akeman Street. The name 'Tring' is believed to come from Old English 'Tredunga' or 'Trehangr', meaning 'slope where trees grow'.
In 1315 Tring was granted a market charter by Edward II. At the heart of the town stands St Peter and St Paul's Church, which is thought to date back to circa 1100. The edifice as it stands today was rebuilt between the 13th and 15th century.
In 1633, the great grandfather of George Washington - John Washington, was born in Tring. In 1656 he left the town to go on a trading voyage to Virginia but after a shipwreck on the Potomac River he remained in Virginia, married and started a family.
In 1682 Tring Manor House was designed by Christopher Wren. Situated just over a mile east of the town centre, it was built for Colonel Henry Guy, Groom of the Bedchamber to King Charles II. In the late 19th century the Manor became the home of a branch of the Rothschild banking family, who would go on to hold considerable influence over Tring. The distinctive building on stilts at the intersection of the High Street and Akeman Street is Tring Market House. This was built in 1898 in the Tudor revival style and was funded primarily by the Rothschilds. Walter Rothschild built a private zoological museum in Tring. This housed one of the largest collection of stuffed animals in the world. Since 1937 it has been under the control of the Natural History Museum in London.
In 1793 work began on the construction of the Grand Junction Canal, reaching Tring by 1799. This would later form part of the Grand Union Canal which connects London to Birmingham and Leicester. The arrival of the canal brought a boost to Tring as goods could be transported over the waterways. In 1837 the railway arrived in Tring courtesy of the London and Birmingham Railway. Today this is situated on the West Coast Main Line which runs from London Euston to Glasgow and Edinburgh via the Midlands and North West. Trains to London take around three quarters of an hour from Tring. This would make it ideally situated as a commuter town if not for a key caveat - that the railway station is situated just short of two miles away from the town centre.
Following the death of Charles Rothschild in 1923, the banking family's estate in Tring was gradually sold off. In 1945 Tring Manor House was leased, and later sold, to an independent performing arts school. Today it has been repurposed as a luxury hotel known as Pendley Manor.
