It explored the countryside around Nettlebed, a village travelled through since ancient times. The area was once important for brick and glass making and along our way we took time to explore the evidence of this in the landscape and buildings around us. Our route took us through the delightful Warburg Nature Reserve and, to the delight of our group, we also discover the little ruined Church of St. James in Bix Bottom and beautiful stained glass windows by John Piper! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589363216690-5GWJO9OE8FGKPF9KCZCL/Goring%2BGap%2B%25C2%25A9PhilippaSanders.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - A Gap on the Landscape The special landscape of Goring Gap where the Chilterns AONB meets the North Wessex Downs AONB has been forged by nature and the River Thames and adapted by man over thousands of years. The Gap, only a short train journey from London or Oxford, offers some fine walks and we have featured a few in the festival programmes. One of our favourites follows the Chiltern Way up through Great Chalk Wood onto the Chilterns plateaux. Here we marvel at panoramic views across The Gap and deep into Berkshire and Hampshire. Descending through Hartslock Nature Reserve to the river we follow the Thames Path National Trail, passing The Grotto, to Goring Lock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589209713288-OEFZPSUKAHKYKPE7B54Y/20191013_CWF_Family%2BWalk.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Everyone’s a Fruit & Nutcase A fun autumn walk for all the family! On this short walk from the Bottle & Glass Inn, Binfield Heath we had some fun discovering the fairy secrets and magic of the woods! Do you know which trees are enchanted and which are good for making magicians’ wands and witches brooms? Or how the chestnut got its prickly casing? We even met the Lady of the Woods, the King of the Forest, and more...! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589288160443-RROW8RXWKZNDJB1ZNFKD/Bix+Bottom_Chilterns_Group+Walk.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Chill Out in the Chilterns Walking is an excellent tonic for lifting our mood. We introduced our Chill Out in the Chilterns walks last autumn to coincide with World Mental Health Day and to support the Bluebells Day Centre, a Henley based charity providing a fantastic service to people affected by dementia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1577558913671-RDH3YMT37NIGYXJRRVHH/Maharaja%27s+Well+Stoke+Row_%C2%A9Pipsticks+Walks+2019.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Dipping into the Wells Our Well Walks have become a regular feature in the CWF programme. In days gone by the rural communities here often suffered from severe water shortages. These walks explore the evidence and stories, old and new, of our quest for water, the essence of life. We discover dry valleys (known as bottoms), dipping ponds and village wells, cisterns and modern abstractions and the magnificent Maharajah's Well, complete with golden elephant! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1581424299338-KQ4ETCEFVR5R74XXCKAN/WP_20180519_11_24_23_Pro.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Walk the Chalk The spring walking festivals coincide with ‘World Nordic Walking Day’ and the Chiltern hills are the perfect place to put our Nordic walking poles to work. One sunny May day we set out from historic Watlington to explore the Ridgeway National Trail and the Chilterns escarpment. Our Nordic walking poles powered us effortlessly up Bald Hill, Shirburn Hill and Watlington Hill to be rewarded with awesome panoramic views. Passing through the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve where we paused to discover the orchids and other flowers and delights of late spring on the chalk hills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589363392424-H8X4V1PGKGLAVNSKHG5C/Temple%2BIsland_Thames%2BPath_Nordic%2BWalk.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Ghostly Tales … from the Riverbank! We all love a ghost walk! England is a haunted country and as we strolled along the Thames Path National Trail between Henley and Marlow there were plenty of Ghostly Tales from the Riverbank to be told, including one written by Charles Dickens! With the River Thames as our peaceful companion, the Chiltern Hills form an impressive backdrop to the walk. Along the way we discovered murderous women, grey ladies, hooded monks, phantoms, headless horsemen, and more... and (reportedly) the oldest haunted pub in England! This spooky walk has now feature in two walking festivals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589211536522-2WAJO7BOQRT348FKZZ39/Evening%2BStroll%2Bwith%2BPoles%2B%25C2%25A9PhilippaSanders.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Evening Stroll with Poles One of our popular evening pub Nordic walks. Soaking up the sweet air of the late spring evening as we Nordic walked to the rhythm of nature through the Chilterns countryside near Henley-on-Thames. Then time to relax with some well earned refreshment in a lovely welcoming pub - on this occassion the ‘Walkers are Welcome’ Maltsters Arms at Rotherfeld Greys! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1589209344214-M778ZO9CTK31N4X9UTNV/Chilterns+Walking+Festival+logo+%28new++Aug+18%29.jpg Blog - Chilterns Walking Festival - Save the Date!

Our Well Walks take us on a journey through pretty villages and hamlets, all linked by an ancient network of paths, to discover these ornate covered wells and their history. The magnificent Maharajah's Well at Stoke Row, complete with golden elephant, is particularly handsome. And as walking can be thirsty work, a welcoming village pub awaits us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1568146252733-2D1AAA0WRW5IQ4WTRV3X/Bix%2BBluebell%2BWood.jpg Inspiration - Bluebell Walks … and other flowers! The underlying geology of the area provides for a rich tapestry of wildlife habitats and there are many nature reserves to be explored on foot. In spring the woods are famously carpeted with bluebells. In summer, the species-rich chalk grasslands are a particular favourite providing a nationally important habitat for flowers and butterflies, including many orchid species. We always find time to pause a while and marvel at their wonder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1568142668815-NEIG2JZOFCJCRV1ZPJXO/The+Ridgeway_summer.jpg Inspiration - Britain’s Oldest Road Walk in the footsteps of ancient wayfarers along The Ridgeway and Icknield Way, Britain's Oldest Road, and one of our National Trails.

And the wide sweeping views are awesome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5fda16c6130700013a2e3a/1568146131240-HYSINY4IAFL3F2N0CSZ1/Goring+Gap_Group+Walk.jpg Inspiration - Goring Gap Experience the Chiltern Hills, North Wessex Downs and the River Thames all in one!
