The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from NE to SW. This Stage 2 is the most undulating with several climbs in and out of valleys and is, therefore, the most strenuous part of The Ridgeway. The route climbs Coombe Hill, passes by Pulpit Hill fort and over Lodge Hill. Goes around Bledlow Great Wood near Chinnor to go along a disused railway and go underneath the M40. It goes along the bottom edge of the Chilterns scarp and passes Watlington Hill.

This walk is about the treats that await you in and around Dancersend Nature Reserve.

The final stage crosses the Chequers estate along the Ridgeway westward for a short distance, then descends down the Chilterns to Little Kimble station for rail or bus services back to High Wycombe.
