Explore the Chilterns (with Cambridge)

2 May (Sat, end 1st week)

For week 1, we venture a bit further afield for a joint walk with the Cambridge University Rambling Club in the Chiltern Hills. In an area of outstanding natural beauty, this walk should offer fine views from the tops across the English midlands countryside to the north and Misbourne Valley to the East. We will skirt Chequers, the Prime Minister's country residence, and walk along the Ridgeway through undulating woodland. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet our Cambridge counterparts in one of the best settings England has to offer!
