For the benefit of patients, staff and visitors, Amersham Hospital has revitalised its gardens and restored wildflower meadows on its site with the help of Wild Amersham. Come for a gentle stroll with a local wildflower devotee who will show you the meadows and tell you about the common and uncommon wildflowers you can find there. This will be a short stroll with lots of stops to look at lovely plants.

From Amersham station it is a lovely 25 minute walk down the hill to Old Amersham and the Hospital (but do make sure you walk down through the woods and not along the main road). There are buses from the station directly to the Hospital and there are taxis parked right outside the station that can take you on the 10 min ride to the Hospital. )
