The Chilterns AONB is one of the best places in the UK to go for a walk or bike ride. With 2000km of well-signposted footpaths and bridleways you can explore every part of this beautiful area on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. With easy access to paths from most of the local railway stations it’s simple to enjoy a day out without the car. Walk through bluebell woods in spring or the blaze of leaves which carpet the beechwoods in the autumn. Enjoy open hillsides covered in spring and summer flowers and watch out for red kites overhead. The Activities section provides details of a huge range of promoted walking, cycling and horse-riding routes and there are downloadable leaflets for many of them.
In this section you can learn more about how the Conservation Board and its partners are working to make the countryside accessible to as many people as possible. The work includes a variety of Access for All projects and Health Walks programmes. There is also information on the Open Access rights which has opened up some new areas to the public and the many ways you can use public transport to reach and travel around the Chilterns.
