フィリップスヒルウッドのおすすめツーリングルート

The walk starts out from Amersham town centre. Highly recommended for breakfast before starting the hike is Sycamore, my personal favourite place for breakfast in Amersham with a variety of food options and excellent coffee (make sure to try the Figgy Anzac cookies!). Other good options are Nena Craft Bakery and A Little Street Kitchen which are both nearby.

Winchmore Hill goes back to the 12th century: there used to be a small settlement here supporting farms grouped around a Common and a pond (those were the days). In 1958, the pond was filled in, but luckily the Common is still here, on the edge of what used to be Wycombe Heath: 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and material for firewood. It's a lovely hamlet. There is a great information board, from which you can learn more about the history of the place. And a good pub in a village can never be wrong! - so make sure you make a stop at The Plough!

The striking clock tower in the centre of Chesham looks older, but it's not: it was built in 1992! However, it's the tower that's new, not the clock itself, which used to be a part of Chesham Town Hall.

As English villages in the Chiltern Hills go, this one is one of the most attractive. This is the kind of place I tend to think of when I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means "a woodland clearing". Another little fun fact: Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., lived here and built a Manor house here in 1900. He was associated with the Art Nouveau style.

Worth having a look at for the local points of interest, everyone loves it as they pass by. Nice bench seat too for having coffee or a food break

Merlin’s Cave is a true country pub with a bustling bar area, a menu filled with homely comforts, and a gorgeous garden; the perfect space to unwind in the heart of Chalfont St Giles. Located opposite the village green and nestled between the River Misbourne and the parish church. Our beautiful garden is the perfect place to relax for an after-work drink or a weekend family get-together.

This quaint village pub with rooms, set in the Chilterns Area of Natural Beauty, lies 3 miles from Bekonscot miniature village and 8 miles from Cliveden country estate.
