Get to know the ‘wild’ side of Amersham, on this nature walk through a historic Chilterns town. You will pass through a beech wood, down rolling hills, through an ancient hollow way and along a chalk stream.
On the way you will learn lots about these typical Chiltern and rare habitats from a ‘Wild Amersham’ volunteer. There will be lovely views on the way and the walk ends in historic old Amersham for you to enjoy its architecture, cafes and shops.
Additional information
There are plenty of lunch and coffee options at the end of the walk in Old Amersham. There are public toilets in Old Amersham car park (off the Broadway next to the Memorial Gardens) and in Amersham station.
Accessibility info: The route is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair users, buggies or mobility scooters as some of the paths are unpaved, uneven or uphill.
