Marlow to High Wycombe

A beautiful walk with views and woodlands, quite idyllic in many places. An undulating route with some long climbs and steep parts (around 30%), mostly on woodland paths and a few minor single-track roads, joining the Chiltern Way and passing through Horton Wood and Keep Hill Wood. Stairs, gates, narrow and a few overgrown paths and fallen trees to hop over; finishes across The Rye park. Joins a stretch of the Chiltern Way and sensibly tunnels under the busy A404. The Rye has a picturesque watermill.

Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.
