What we’re about
The Chiltern Hills offer beautiful vistas, valleys, woodlands, villages and other delights. As a result, these walks are always scenic and often idyllic. The walks replenish, inspire and nurture wellbeing. Currently, the walks are mostly in the North of the Chilterns. I'm James, and I've been leading walks since I was a child, so you're in good hands.
I'm also the author of Kissing Consciousness, a personal wellbeing book, so if you'd like to ask me about that you're more than welcome, and I may throw in a related event from time to time.

Saturday Walk from Tring Park to Wigginton and Hastoe
Tring Park car park, Hastoe Lane, Tring, GBThis is a beautiful route of about 6 miles for a pre-Christmas walk, with stunning views, in particular from the top of Tring Park. We'll walk through it's 'rural boulevard' of trees which overlooks the valley, then on to the village of Wigginton and the hamlet of Hastoe via bridleways, and ending with a glorious view overlooking the town to end as we walk towards it. Meet opposite the entrance to Tring Park Car Park (pictured). Walking time approx. 2.5 hours. After the walk is an optional follow-on Christmas Lunch event at The Akeman.
The price for the walk is £2 to cover costs.
If you wish to you can stay for a festive drink afterwards at The Akeman pub in Akeman Street, or even stay for a Christmas Lunch Meetup. The Akeman is a lovely place with a good atmosphere and the scents of a fire oven cooking pizzas.
