Watlington Hill circular walk
This 7-mile walk takes you across Watlington Hill, dropping down onto the Oxfordshire Plain following the ancient Icknield Way, before ascending the Chiltern Escarpment through Greenfield Copse. Continuing across several small valleys on the dip slope of the Chilterns, the route returns to Christmas Common and to Watlington Hill via an ancient Saxon lane that was once the spinal route of a Chiltern strip parish.
*The walk is mainly on soft footpaths with several short but steep descents and ascents.
**Dog friendly.
