Description
Just a simple change to the start of the route to avoid a steep stepped bridge over the railway. Crossing the railway takes the user on to a public footpath sooner but it's still through the town so not worth the climb

05 Feb 2023I walked this from Chorleywood to Amersham on a cloudy Saturday afternoon. There was not a lot of rain in the past week, and the paths where easy to walk on, with little mud.
From Chorleywood's "High Street" I walked along an avenue for a while before crossing into Carpenters Wood. From here on until Amersham, all of the walking was through woods, with no cows insight. There were a few places where I had to cross a road, but that was generally not a problem.
After crossing one such road, Amersham Road, the walk brought me along Chenies Manor and through the estate. I very much liked going through all the woods, and there were often also great view of the Chess Valley, and another stately home, Latimer House.
I also spotted my first daffodils of the season, and a Muntjac.
The last woods that I walked through was the Market Reading Wood. From there on the walk was along pavements and a sports centre, before finishing the walk at Amersham station.

10 Oct 2021I walked from Chorleywood to Amersham. A lovely route, very easy to follow. The paths are generally easy underfoot though there are a few tree roots and muddy patches to be aware of. Just outside of the wooded areas there are brilliant views over the Chess Valley.

30 May 2021A very fine walk from Buckinghamshire into Hertfordshire, with each terminus well served by trains to and from London. Some wonderful views across the Chess Valley on emerging from Amersham at Quill Hall.
A navigational point - the left turn at Market Reading Wood is the path inside the fence, not the much more obvious path outside the fence. Realised this while halfway down the hill on the wrong side!.

27 May 2021Starting and ending with walks through pleasant residential areas to railway stations on the Chiltern Railways line between London Marylebone and Aylesbury (and the Metropolitan line into central London), this route takes you through countryside and woodland. The woodland paths can be well-worn with exposed tree routes in places and will be muddy when wet but are not technically challenging and there are no long climbs.
