Saturday Walk: Chequers and Whiteleaf Hill

This is a classic walk from The Plough at the hamlet of Cadsden, via the Prime Minister's county residence of Chequers and back through the wooded hills to the spectacular view from the popular viewpoint of Whiteleaf Hill. We'll also go to Hampden House and St Mary Magdalene Church, where many British films were filmed. The walk is approx. 7 miles and will take about 2.5 to 3 hours.

The price for the walk is £2 to cover costs.

After the walk there's the option of staying for a drink and a chat at the Plough at Cadsden, which is where David Cameron famously left his son behind, after a drink with the Chinese Ambassador. We'll take the easy ascent to the famous view from Whiteleaf Hill, before a downhill last 10 minutes back to The Plough.

Food is also available at The Plough, though you may need to book in advance if you want more than snacks. The number for meal bookings is 01844 343 302.
