The Chiltern Way Basic Guide

Let us guide you

We’ve created a basic guide to the Chiltern Way, North Chiltern Trail, Berkshire Loop and Northern and Southern Links. The walk directions and maps are available on OS Maps and as downloadable leaflets. Links to the stages are below.

With much of the Chiltern Way inside the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we hope the guidance on this page will help you to find your own way through some of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in England.

Our Chiltern Way Basic Guide is a PDF containing background information and help with using the guides. Following this link will download it.
