This route guides you through sheltered woodlands and across rare chalk grassland, offering a refreshing mix of scenery. You will ascend 1111 feet (339 metres) to the prominent Coombe Hill Viewpoint, where panoramic vistas over the Aylesbury Vale await.

When planning your visit, remember that the paths on this loop can become quite muddy and slippery, especially during wet periods or in winter. It is wise to wear appropriate footwear to ensure a comfortable and safe hike. The trail's convenient starting point in Wendover makes it easily accessible for a day out in nature.
This trail is notable for leading to the highest point in the Chilterns, Coombe Hill, offering a unique perspective of the region. Beyond the views, you'll experience the rich natural environment of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including its distinctive chalk grassland and ancient woodlands.
