Restarting Events
We are restarting some events with the easing of lockdown restrictions.
Walks can once again take place in England, Scotland and Wales, and will be run in accordance with local regulations. In most cases our walks will allow for a maximum of 30 participants, although a lower limit may be in place following an event's risk assessment. All walks require every participant to pre-book via the website.

The Chiltern Hills were designated as an AONB in 1965. They are rich in wildlife, ranging from red kites to Duke of Burgundy butterflies. Habitats include endangered chalk grassland, farmland and many acres of woodlands (dominated by beech trees.) Some magnificent vistas of the Vale of Aylesbury and several incredible properties including the our PM country estate "Chequers."
