Route Description for Red Kites and Ridgeway Loop
The Red Kites and Ridgeway Loop in the Chilterns is a must-do hike! Besides the two steep hills, this hike is easy to navigate and provides excellent views throughout. Setting out from your car, face the school entrance and then head right down Church Lane before going right again to meet up with the main street. Go along Chapel Lane and continue straight, passing Lodge Hill Farm. At the top of the loop, you’ll turn onto the Ridgeway, eventually reaching lovely views of the Vale of Aylesbury. Continue looping around, turning off the Ridgeway onto a footpath. Walk by Manor Farm before meeting up with Hawk Lane, taking you back to where you began.
Note that you will have to navigate kissing gates along the route.
