Route Description for Ridgeway Trail: Princes Risborough to Chinnor Walk

The Ridgeway Trail: Princes Risborough to Chinnor Walk in the Chilterns is a point-to-point walk that takes you on a section of one of England’s most historic paths! At one point, you’ll reach Lodge Hill, where you can spend a moment to admire the views of Vale of Aylesbury. You will need to bring your own food as there are no options en route. On top of that, you will need to either bring one car to the endpoint or pay a taxi to get back to your car as this is a one-way route—it’s best to book ahead!
