Walking, rambling, hiking, running, cycling

We are situated within an ‘Area of Natural Beauty’ (AONB). The Chilterns covers 324 square miles of stunning countryside and includes the Ridgeway and the Thames Path. There are walks and cycle routes of various distances, from a mile or two to a full day’s hike.

From Miersfield there are several lovely walks. If you’re looking to purchase an Ordnance Survey map you’ll find our region within the map number 172. Also worth noting that when you purchase a printed map you also get a digital version free, accessed via the O/S mobile app and includes GPS so you can track your location at all times.

For more information visit – The Chilterns AONB

These two loop walks start from the tunnel under the M40 next to ASDA…
