チェニーズでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Chenies Manor and church

A bit muddy in places

Frogmore Meadows nature reserve is an 11 acre SSSI next to the River Chess. The marshy, grassland habitat are home to water voles, and plants such as meadow foxtail and Yorkshire fog, with some marsh marigold and marsh bedstraw. Lots of butterflies are also resident here. The Chess Valley long distance walking path comes through the nature reserve and there are watercress beds to the east.

When walking from east to west there are three benches seperated a few hundred meters apart (this is the first). All have a great view and are nice places for a rest.

A wide footpath through open fields runs adjacent to Turveylane Woods, creating some beautiful scenes as you're passing by.

Stroll through beautiful open fields filled with friendly sheep. This is a great place for the kids to have a run around, just make sure to keep any pups on a leash.

As I came round the corner, it looked like the path would be flooded but there's a narrow "bridge" passage across this busier part of the river. Take a moment to gaze downstream and be transported back to a simpler time.

Walking through this field gives a wonderful view across the valley, and some very dramatic cloud formations this time of year. It's only of the few sections where you're sharing the field with the local horseys and that's a wonderful experience for our younger hikers especially!
