We are a group who enjoy walking and socialising. Almost all of our walks end at the pub and we also organise regular monthly socials in Oxford and surrounding towns - we go for meals and pub trips as well as things like comedy, cycle tours and the theatre.
Please note the following:
There maybe a number of Ramblers members joining the group who are not shown on the Meetup RSVP list.
The group is normally easy to find by looking for a group in walking kit. Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the walk and if you are having trouble finding the group please contact the walk leader.
The organiser identified on Meetup may be different from the actual walk leader. Please see the description of the walk for their name and contact details.
In terms of what you need to bring:
- A packed lunch (unless the walk description says otherwise)
- Water
- Suitable clothing according to the weather conditions that day
- We advise walking shoes or boots
- Waterproof coats and trousers as you may well get wet and muddy.

## Details
Join Us for a Scenic 9-Mile Hike Through the Beautiful Chilterns!
Embark on a memorable adventure as we explore the stunning landscapes, rich history, and charming villages of the Chilterns. This is more than just a walk—it’s an immersive experience through tranquil woodlands, picturesque estates, and scenic hillsides.
We’ll begin and end our journey in the delightful village of Chinnor Hill, known for its quaint stone cottages and serene countryside setting. From there, we’ll set off from the Nature Reserve Car Park, heading east along the ridge towards the top of Chinnor Hill. As we descend, we’ll pass through picturesque farmland, looping around Wain Hill and The Cop, before joining the famous Ridgeway Footpath.
Continuing past Lodge Hill, we’ll make our way to the charming village of Rout’s Green and then head towards Bedlow Ridge for a well-earned pub stop.
Around the halfway point, we’ll take a break for lunch and snacks, allowing you to relax and recharge before continuing on. After our rest, we’ll make our way through the scenic villages of Radnage, passing Andridge Farm and Common, before finishing our journey through the beautiful Crowell Wood, returning to our starting point.
