    These Almshouses were established by Henry Alnutt (a lawyer of Middle Temple in London) in 1724. These make the three sides of the courtyard. There is also a chapel constructed around the same time. In the 1880s, a school was built, attempting to be in the same architectural style, and in 1900 a post office was added.

    It's a very impressive building!

    Embark on a moderate hike through the scenic Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Path Hill and College Wood loop from Whitchurch Hill. This route spans 6.1 miles (9.9 km) and involves a gentle elevation gain of 260 feet (79 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 35 minutes to complete. You will wander through beautiful beech woodlands and open countryside, experiencing varied terrain that offers a rewarding outdoor adventure. Look forward to magnificent views across the Thames Valley, especially as you traverse Path Hill, providing a memorable visual highlight of your journey.

    To begin your hike, parking is generally available in the Whitchurch Hill area, making access straightforward. Be prepared for some sections of the route that can be steep and undulating, adding to the trail's moderate challenge. Paths may also become slippery when wet, particularly after rain, so appropriate footwear is advisable. The trail incorporates traditional English countryside elements, including kissing gates, and follows a mix of footpaths, bridleways, and minor roads, ensuring a diverse walking experience.

    This loop offers a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in a classic Chilterns landscape. As you pass through College Wood, you might catch a glimpse of vibrant bluebells in spring or enjoy the rich tapestry of autumn colours later in the year. The route is well-suited for those seeking a blend of woodland tranquility and open vistas, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. It's a perfect choice for a half-day outing, allowing you to connect with nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
