This walk was both part of our River Chess Circulars and our walks based around the rail and underground stations of the Chilterns. The River Chess runs from its source at Pednor, near Chesham, to Rickmansworth where it joins the Colne. The Chess Valley Walk is a point-to-point trail along the course of the river from Chesham to Rickmansworth stations. We chose Chalfont and Latimer station as the start and end for this circular walk. The guidance below will help you navigate but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide. Always take a map and/or a GPX route and prepare well for the weather and terrain.
A shorter version of this walk can be made by cutting off the Flaunden Grove section by continuing along the Chess Valley Walk at around kilometre 5. This removes about 2km from the walk and a chunk of elevation.
