チェシャムのおすすめ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。

Lane way bridal Way is a beautiful tree lined bridal path as part of the circular walk

Stop at No2 Pound Street (adjacent to the mini roundabout up the hill) Their main business is a delicatessen specialising in cheese and wine ... but you can grab a tea/cofffee with cake or a toastie, Sit outside or in depending on the weather! Highly recommended. If you've room in your saddlebag, grab a bottle of wine, with some excellent cheese, having taken note of the expert advice from the staff!

Final part of the route is quite narrow and plants have overgrown further narrowing the path

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.

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.

Chesham Bois is a lovely bit of woodland just outside Chesham's Waterside, a beautiful and quiet place to walk in. The paths are well managed, and not too boggy after rain. Please note this is 'bois', which is French for "wood", and not "Chesham Boys"!
