クロウェルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Boasting magnificent views over the Vale of Aylesbury, Chinnor Hill is a patchwork of calcareous wildflower grassland, scrub and woodland. A network of bridleways including stretches of the ancient Ridgeway National Trail offer many miles of outstanding riding.

This forest belongs to National Trust. It's part of the old "London Weye" (Oxford to London, established in 1718). A very pleasant beech wood, just off A40, eventually emerging onto the fields near Icknield Way.

A really beautiful track through the fields, with rolling and wooded hills to accompany you to your north (Crowell Wood and High Wood). There is a sense of peace here, and in the summer, you will see red poppies brightening your day.

This is one of the quarries here, a part of the former Chinnor Chalk Pit, now flooded and known as Old Kiln Lakes. The lakes are freshwater, but very alkaline, and there was a warning to the public issued in 2012 to not swim in there. It's a striking and moon-like place, looking very dramatic and slightly out-of-this-world. A definite must!

A somewhat rough-looking church, at least from the outside. It has a Norman west tower and many 13th and 14th century features. It's a Grade II listed building, and it's listed on the National Heritage List for England.

This is a lovely 2km-long walk through this green and quiet forest. The forest seems larger than most in the Chilterns, the path here winding its way through the countryside between M40 and Ibstone Road. It's very quiet here; hard to believe that the major roads are so close to you.

A lovely bit of woodland just south of the village of Ibstone. Great for leisurely walks, with a combination of wide, fully-accessible tracks and narrower footpaths. The beeches - so common in this part of the world - stand proud all around you, and in the spring and summer you will see lots of bluebells in places.

This stone looks ancient, but it's, in fact, not ancient at all. The sarsen standing boulder was placed here to mark the Millennium. It does look impressive, though. The Common itself is a lovely and large open space in the village, and a good place to stop.
