Chilterns Cycleway

Chilterns Cycleway
This cycleway offers a 173 mile circuit of the Chilterns, signposted all the way for easy navigation; beautiful countryside; and the opportunity to spot one or two red kites!

Whether you choose to ride just a short section, or perhaps the full circuit over a number days, the Chilterns Cycleway is well worth a visit.

This cycling route passes through Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, taking in some of the best landscapes in these counties.

It is a circular cycle route through the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The route is mainly on-road and is signposted throughout.

Many will find it is suitable for a leisurely one-week tour. But there are lots of options for splitting up the route into shorter sections and exploring a bit at a time.

Detailed maps and routes of  the 23 sections can be downloaded from the Chilterns Cycleway website. There are also a selection of day rides to choose from. A full guide book can also be purchased too.
