Walking in Buckinghamshire Summary

Walking in Buckinghamshire by Robert Wilson

Right on the doorstep of London and south-east England, Buckinghamshire has a wide range of countryside and walking. Buckinghamshire has much in store for the walker, not only in diverse landscapes, but also its long history, large mansions and ancient churches, which give the county its range of interests and pleasures. With well-marked paths and bridleways, and active local groups successfully sustaining the pressured environment, there is much to see and do. The book contains 32 walks throughout the county, clearly illustrated with photographs and maps. All the walks are generally easy and suitable for families. Local points of interest are given as well as details on refreshments and access.

About Robert Wilson

For me, walking is a means of escape from the modern world. I live on the western edge of London, just a few minutes drive from the M40, my escape route to Bucks, Berks and Wiltshire. I have been a regular weekend and holiday walker for over 20 years and have covered Bucks and Berks for Country Walking magazine's 'Down Your Way' section since 1990. On holidays further afield, I have been walking on Skye, the Torridon Hills, Austria, Italy (the Dolomites and the Abruzzo), France, Andorra and the Alpujarras. What I love about walking in these areas is the variety of scenery, the Chiltern beechwoods in Autumn, pretty villages with traditional pubs serving real ale, the tranquil Kennett & Avon canal and the downlands of West Berkshire and Wiltshire. In the summer, walking on the Downs has dream like qualities with wide blue skies and little fluffy clouds, while on a dull winters day with light rain brings out a more sinister character. Wiltshire is the county of myths and legends, the mystical west! with white horses on the downs overlooking the villages, Avebury and other prehistoric monuments.
