チャルフォントセントジャイルズ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.

Truly a village that is steeped in olde worlde charm. Some great restaurants and pubs. The history seeps through its pores. The Kings Arms Hotel & The Crown Hotel & Pub in Amersham, was the set of a scene the 4 Weddings and a funeral movie.

In the summer there are tours for £3 donation from 2pm on Sunday

Lovely little town, had a roast dinner here in a Japanese restaurant of all things!

The Thames at Cookham Bridge is an attractive spot. It is lined with trees, and there are boats dotted about along the riverside. The bridge works on a traffic light system, but there is a pavement area to stop for photos if you feel the urge to do so. There is a good pub at the bridge too called the Ferry Inn.

Footpath closed and train viaduct visible in the distance in 2024

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

There is an off road bridleway after Christmas Common. Fairly straightforward on a wide tyre bike. It’s probably 1.5 km long
