The twenty walks in Best Walks in the Chilterns cover all the most interesting features of the area, from secret villages to grand houses, from shady woodland to chalk grassland. Published March 12. | The Chiltern Hills: 18 Walks Between Ewelme and the Hambleden Valley, Les Ham - The Chiltern Hills is a historical walking guidebook of eighteen circular walks between seven and ten miles. The Chiltern Hills are an area of hills northwest of London. These walks are confined to a small area north of Henley. Each walk has a map detailed with walk description and is accompanied by much interesting local history notes. The walks pass through typical picturesque English villages, glorious countryside with stunning views -England at its best. They pass by local village pubs, old churches, and village ponds.
