Embark on the Fire Wood and Parsonage Wood loop from Turville, a moderate hike that guides you through classic English countryside. You will traverse rolling hills and open meadows, enjoying cool, shaded paths through extensive woodlands. Keep an eye out for the iconic Cobstone Windmill, a famous landmark that adds charm to your journey as you complete this 8.6 miles (13.9 km) route, gaining 987 feet (301 metres) in elevation over approximately 3 hours and 56 minutes.
To plan your visit, begin your adventure from the picturesque Turville Village. Be prepared for varied terrain, including some steep and uneven sections, particularly within Parsonage Wood, where paths with steps can become muddy. Good fitness and sure-footedness are recommended to comfortably navigate these parts of the trail.
This loop offers a rewarding experience within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In spring, Parsonage Wood is especially known for its vibrant bluebells, transforming the woodland floor into a stunning display. The trail showcases the typical natural beauty of the region, making it a notable option for exploring the Chiltern Hills.
