Chalk and water
A journey of discovery up and down the Chiltern Hills
Be enchanted by red kites soaring above, enjoy the aroma of a carpet of bluebells, share a field with five hundred million ants, walk in the footsteps of prehistorc people, try berries with a bitter taste, explore a medieval village, discover a valley without a river, and see a manmade wonder. There’s a lot to see and do on this walk, which tells the story of how the underlying chalk rock and water have influenced the landscape.
