Image
  GPX File of the Route :   High Chilterns & Horrible Henrys  This route covers some of the upland villages in the Southern Chilterns.It heads out of Goring using the Icknield Way and climbs along the open country on the east side of the Thames Valley and onwards to picturesque Ewelme. Thence onwards, ascending the Chiltern Hills circling clockwise past the manors of Stonor and Grey’s Court, then through Stoke Row on the return to Goring. It is almost entirely based on quiet and minor roads and although there are quite a few climbs, none are steep. For more detail see the Route Tips below. Zoom In Highlights are: Goring itself, check the view from the bridge. Views across the Goring Gap from the valley side. Historic Ewelme & Alice Chaucer Beautiful deciduous ‘ancient’ woodlands Stonor Park Grey’s Court, an Elizabethan Manor The Maharajah’s Well. Odd enough to get into Atlas Obscura! I confess...
