12 Miles - Train to Trails in The Chilterns - Wendover

Sat 21st October 2023

A scenic view of a vast countryside landscape under a partly cloudy sky. Rolling hills covered with fields of varying shades of green and brown stretch into the distance, with clusters of trees dotting the terrain. The horizon shows more hills and hints of distant villages. A dirt path winds through a dense forest with tall, leaf-covered trees. A wooden post in the foreground shows two trail markers: a blue arrow pointing left and a yellow arrow pointing right, indicating separate walking routes. Fallen leaves cover the ground. A winding dirt path leads to a lighthouse in the distance, surrounded by a grassy field and scattered trees. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible. Expansive, golden farmland under a partly cloudy sky. The harvested fields stretch into the distance, bordered by green hedgerows and forested areas. A dirt path winds along the right edge of the field, leading towards the horizon.

Organiser's Description

**Elevation** 1,400ft

This run starts in the market town of Wendover, with its cobbled paths and quaint shops, before heading up through Bacombe Woods to Coombe Hill with its far-reaching views over the Chilterns. Our legs will then get a well-deserved break as we follow winding forest trails down to the Prime Minister’s country estate of Chequers. Here we will get a glimpse of the large, impressive manor house as we run through the private estate, before climbing up again to Beacon Hill. Finally, we return via undulating chalk trails through Ellesborough to Wendover High Street, where we will say our goodbyes or, if we want the extra challenge and elevation training, choose to tackle the bonus loop around Wendover Woods.

There is an optional bonus loop of Wendover Woods, which is an additional 6.5miles with 670ft of elevation.
