チェシャムボアのおすすめMTBライド

White Hill Lane の鞍部の東側に滑り落ちる、Bourne Gutter の静かな流れを探してください。ここでは、Culvert Rise が Bourne Gutter の水源となっています。別名 Hertfordshire Bourne とも呼ばれ、River Bulbourne の時折現れる支流で、いわゆる冬の小川です。

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.

I do like this stretch - the top is pretty, and it is a nice short hill both ways, but the surface is very broken with lots of gravel.

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

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.

The history of the village of St Leonard's is tightly connected with the chapel of Leonard's - and this dates back to the 12th century. The present church, however, was built in the 15th century. As many such places, it has had a tumultuous history. For instance, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the chapel continued being used and Queen Elizabeth inquired in 1586 into why the chapel and the lands had not reverted to the Crown. The church feel into disrepair in the 17th century. What can be seen today is in the simple Queen Anne style, and was rebuilt around 1700s. The whitewashed walls are striking and give the church a unique look. In the winter, it can look brilliant after snow, and in the spring, when the snowdrops come up (plenty of them in the church grounds), it also looks terrific.

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

Cholesbury Camp is an old Iron Age hill fort with a church in the middle of it. The fort is now covered with mature beech trees which makes for an atmospheric walk.
