Route Description for Beacon Hill Circular Walk

The Beacon Hill Circular walk takes you on a short, charming journey through the Chilterns. The easy-going path makes this a family-friendly hike that’s tailor-made for all ages! Expect the lovely countryside and striking wildflowers to decorate the setting.

Do note that this area is exposed, meaning it can get quite windy, so come prepared with extra layers if it’s a colder day, and wear a hat or bring sunscreen on a hotter day!

The hike begins in a clockwise direction and will take you to Ivinghoe Beacon (Beacon Hill) before winding right and continuing straight. After about 300 m, take a right, and stay right as you loop back to the starting point.
