Chinnor Hill, Old Kiln Lakes and Steam on the Ridgeway (0201)

Discover Chinnor Hill nature reserve with a short, but steep, ascent of the Chiltern escarpment, for wide ranging views across the Vale of Aylesbury and towards Otmoor. Red Kites can often be seen as they hover below you using the hill's thermal currents. Return via the Ridgeway national trail and the historic Donkey Lane to explore Old Kiln Lakes. Here we see former chalk quarries which are now managed as wildlife lakes, and also a rare example of an early 20th century beehive kiln. At the end of the walk you will then have a chance to relax with a return steam train ride (1400 departure) along the preserved Icknield Line railway to Princes Risborough.
