Winter walks
March 2023
An interesting local walk taking in the Tudor buildings of Old Amersham High Street, the site of the old mill on the river Misbourne, and the path overlooking the Bury Fields. The walk finished with a steep climb to the Martyrs’ Memorial and was followed by a well-deserved cream tea at the Kings Arms.
February 2022
A chilly winter walk in Cookham. An hour and a half circular walk returning along the river bank and finishing up at the Ferry pub for refreshments.
