Tips

May 4, 2018

The Chilterns topography, including the Hampden Bottom valley, was largely formed during the last Ice Age by the action of meltwater on permafrost land. Unlike the Chilterns valleys on either side (West Wycombe/Princes Risborough and Great Missenden/Wendover) this valley’s northern end was not deeply eroded and is left hanging, marked by the steep descent of the road from Chequers down to Butlers Cross. As a result, major/designated roads and railways have bypassed the valley. The valley bottom and surrounding hillsides still have an air of rather being left behind by the modern world.
