Marlow to Beaconsfield

Rewarded with good views; Some stunning parts; the walk through Mill Wood was lovely. A varied route taking in stretches of the Thames Path and Chiltern Way, with a flat, often muddy riverside flood-plain section to Bourne End, then a gentle rise along a dismantled railway before a steep climb onto undulating wooded hills, finishing with an urban walk into Beaconsfield. Many stiles, some rickety and muddy when wet; narrow in places. Takes in the Thames Path and Chiltern Way National Trails, plus a dismantled railway that once ran to High Wycombe. Count the corners in Seven-Corner Alley by The Two Brewers, the towpath taken by horses unharnessed from their barges. Red kites overhead; egret and muntjac deer seen on the railway section. The station is about an eight-minute walk from the route's end at Marlow church.
