Slow Ways linking Wendover and Amersham, Aylesbury, Prestwood, Princes Risborough, Tring

England / Buckinghamshire / Wendover

Wendover’s five Slow Ways are 75% checked

Help connect Wendover

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Wendover’s Slow Ways.

Balcombe Lane Link Road - closed. Balcombe Lane and the bridleway - closed. So, I carried on along the London Road A413 until having negotiated road works and a temporary road under an HS2 bridge (not recommended) I could then walk up a narrow road, Dunsmore Lane, into Dunsmore and pick up the route from there!...

Entering the woods take the middle path up hill (13%) on the Holloway embankment. Out of the woods past Concord House and around a large field down to King's Ash. More fields, up hill again through woods, behind houses to Chesham Bois With a steep dip to the road and up again. Deep old woods and wide views....

Strider

Walk this route

A very straightforward and pleasant route, with stretches along the towpaths of the Aylesbury and Wendover arms of the Grand Union Canal, linked by generally well used and clearly marked public footpaths. The exception was the section between the Aylesbury arm and the A41 Tring Road, to the east of Manor Farm, where the path was very overgrown and difficult to follow. The wet spring weather was apparently ideal for the rapid growth of nettles and thistles, making me regret my choice of wearing shorts.......

The route starts at Tring and heads towards Tring park, where from there on the section consists of half going up the hill, and then half going down into Wendover. It's not a small hill, but it's all through woods on the way up....

I thought it was really great countryside walking. Some wide open fields, some steep up- and downhill segments, and a good amount of walking through forest land, with a few just fantastic views of the surroundings. Wendover is also a really lovely place to rest and get something to eat....

We took this route from Prestwood to Wendover and thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Other than a short section on roads when leaving Prestwood, the walk was through woodlands and across fields, with good views of the Chiltern countryside. There was a short diversion from the indicated path as we approached Wendover because of HS2 preparation works, but this was clearly marked and easy to follow....

There is one small section that doesn’t appear to be a public footpath - as it takes you through an office building car park - but otherwise a good route. Technical in places due to uneven surfaces and a very narrow bridge. Selection of some access issues attached!...

Absolutely beautiful walk, a lot of which follows the Ridgeway National Walking Route, passing over Coombe Hill - Stunning views! Wonderful mix of woodland and open country walking. A few big climbs, but worth the views!...

Walk this route

It was very clear and well-waymarked, so very easy to navigate, including a small part of the Ridgeway and some of the Chiltern Link. There was one particularly narrow, muddy path which would be hard to avoid without a significant detour and more roads, and some of the pavement walking towards the end dragged. However, there was a lot to enjoy including good views, a variety of landscapes (some wood, some farm, some village etc) and, for the most part, easy paths....

It's reasonable but there is quite a lot of road-walking in Amersham, through Hyde Heath, and along Great Hundridge Lane. Only the section on the approach to Hyde Heath is actually unpleasant and potentially dangerous - there is no pavement so you are forced to either walk on the road or on a narrow grass verge....
