Chiltern Hills – Hiking & Camping 3 Day Retreat

Shameer Shah

Squeeze in a fun-packed, pleasurable and energising weekend of Chiltern Hills Hiking & Camping under the stars.

The day hikes meander through a river (disused canal), ancient woodlands, forests and hillsides, including a mix of narrow trails, paths and some bridleways. Numerous hilltop vistas are in the distance, surrounded by diverse nature and birds and, hopefully, getting to see some wildlife.

This part of the Chiltern Hills countryside is very impressive, just as impressive as the rolling hills that encompass the walking trails. Both beginner and intermediate hikers would enjoy this 3 day super weekend.

This Chiltern Hills Hiking & Camping trip is ideal for beginners and enjoyable for all experience levels.

If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go. This is the story of our past and it will be the story of our future.
