The walk starts out from Amersham town centre. Highly recommended for breakfast before starting the hike is Sycamore, my personal favourite place for breakfast in Amersham with a variety of food options and excellent coffee (make sure to try the Figgy Anzac cookies!). Other good options are Nena Craft Bakery and A Little Street Kitchen which are both nearby.

The Thames at Cookham Bridge is an attractive spot. It is lined with trees, and there are boats dotted about along the riverside. The bridge works on a traffic light system, but there is a pavement area to stop for photos if you feel the urge to do so. There is a good pub at the bridge too called the Ferry Inn.

Stunning little pond on Penn Common with a charming pub nearby. A great place to stop for a break, or just to enjoy the view as you ride past. Especially beautiful as the sun is going down.

Winchmore Hill goes back to the 12th century: there used to be a small settlement here supporting farms grouped around a Common and a pond (those were the days). In 1958, the pond was filled in, but luckily the Common is still here, on the edge of what used to be Wycombe Heath: 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and material for firewood. It's a lovely hamlet. There is a great information board, from which you can learn more about the history of the place. And a good pub in a village can never be wrong! - so make sure you make a stop at The Plough!
