The Chess Valley Walk has recently undergone a revamp, with new
information boards, footpath improvements, new signage and a new Chess Valley Walk logo! The improvements to the walk were funded by the Chalk Streams and Wetlands Meadow project, a partnership project between the Chilterns Conservation Board and the Chiltern Society, funded by the government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund.
Find out more about the Chess Valley Walk and download the walk leaflet to try the walk for yourself!
