Six walks around Chesham

One of the results of the Chesham Community Vision exercise is a series of leaflets on walks in and around Chesham. There are six walks altogether of varying lengths and all start and finish in Chesham. The Heritage Walk within Chesham, which shows you various places of historic interest in the town based mainly on the heritage plaques has been updated and extended. The five other routes are new. One closely follows the edge of the town, while the other four go out and back, north, south, east and west. Ken Austin said, “They take one through some of the lovely countryside that surrounds Chesham, giving the opportunity to visit historic sites and nature reserves. The routes pass convenient pubs where the walker can pause for food and drink.” The leaflets encourage both residents and visitors to get out and about and see what is on Chesham’s doorstep and also tempt visitors to see something of the town itself and to use the shops and cafes. The leaflets will be launched at an exhibition at the library from Wednesday 4 June. Following that the leaflets will become available from the town hall and other local outlets, then downloadable from the Chilterns AONB website.
