This is part of a series of short circular walks in the Chilterns. 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.
For this walk we parked in Stokenchurch town centre near where the Chiltern Way crosses the A40. From here, the route follows the A40 towards High Wycombe for 450 metres before taking a left onto George Road. At the intersection of George Road and the oddly named Bartholemew Tipping Way take a right onto a footpath heading in a south-easterly direction running parallel to the A40. Continue along the footpath as it follows the perimeter of Stokenchurch Pre-School then crosses a field and onto a farm track heading in a north-easterly direction.
At 2.5 km into the walk the footpath ends at a driveway to a large house. Take a left onto the driveway and follow it into the woods where you’ll descend to Grange Farm Road. Take a right onto the road and follow it in an easterly direction. Continue onto Bennet End Road, right onto Town End Road and left onto Bottom Road. Approximately 180m along Bottom Road take a footpath on the left and ascend steeply into the woods until you reach the junction with the Chiltern Way. Take a left onto the Chiltern Way and follow it for 4 km back to Stokenchurch.
Although there’s no pubs directly on the route after Stokenchurch, the Mash Inn is just off the route at 3.7 km in Radnage. To get there take a left up Horseshoe Road when Grange Farm Road meets Bennet End Road.
