Activity
This 7-mile section of the Ridgeway National Trail takes in beautiful views, lovely scenery, and historic sites as you wind your way through woodlands, across farmlands, and over open hillsides between Wendover and Princes Risborough. There are some great views to be had early on from the Coombe Hill War Memorial, both across the counties and, more immediately, down to Chequers, the Prime Minister's weekend country retreat, a closer view of which follows later on in the route. The route is marked by the acorn symbol throughout, which at times is just as well as there are some sections through beech woods where otherwise it might be easy to get lost. Towards the end of the trail you can stand on top of Whiteleaf Cross, one of a number of similar carvings on chalk hillsides along the Ridgeway, where there are also some more views. There are some fairly significant hills in between.
