Embark on the Risborough Purple Route, a moderate hike that guides you through the classic scenery of the Chiltern Hills. You will cover 7.0 miles (11.2 km) with an elevation gain of 940 feet (286 metres), typically taking around 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete. As you hike, you will experience a mix of dense woodlands, like Barne's Grove, and tranquil meadows, eventually reaching panoramic views from Whiteleaf Hill where the distinctive Whiteleaf Cross stands out against the landscape.
Planning your visit is straightforward, with parking generally available near the starting point of the trail. Be prepared for varied terrain; while paths are generally easy, they can sometimes be muddy, so appropriate footwear is recommended for a comfortable hike. You will also find opportunities for refreshment at several pubs along the route, such as The Whip Inn and the Pink & Lily, perfect for a break.
This circular route offers a rewarding experience within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, showcasing expansive views over the Aylesbury Vale and picturesque patchwork fields. The combination of open vistas and sheltered woodland paths makes it a notable trail for experiencing the diverse natural beauty of the region. It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a well-rounded hike with both scenic beauty and historical landmarks.
