Woodland, villages, views, historic houses In Brief This walk is crammed full of interest, not just because of its manors, churches and villages, but because of the historic personages that built them and lived in them. Apart from all that, it has some of the finest stretches of woodland. There are also many places of refreshment, so the walk may take longer than usual for its fairly modest length. A shorter version is offered here, omitting West Wycombe. There are a several small patches of nettles, so shorts are not advisable. Any sensible shoes and clothing should be fine. Your dog could come too. The walk begins at the village of Bradenham, Bucks , in the Wycombe area, just off the A4010 (postcode HP14 4HF ). Park off-road opposite the church where there is a gravel car parking area. For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ).
