The beauty of The Chilterns

The Chilterns… heard of it, not heard of it?

The reason I say this is because you will be surprised if I told you how many people are unaware of The Chilterns and what it has to offer.

“Where exactly is The Chilterns?” I often get asked. I simply answer, “a stones throw away from London and the surrounding counties.”

However, more importantly, it’s what you can do in a weekend’s getaway that blows most people away.

So, below is what I got up to in pictures (read captions too) over a weekend whilst guiding, group hikes.
