Chiltern Heritage Trail Temporary Diversion

Two alternative routes to divert Chiltern Heritage Trail around HS2 works north of Great Missenden. The "northern" route is signed and more off road, but misses out more of the original trail.

At 5.7 km, this is a comfortable half-day walk for most hikers. At an average walking pace, plan for roughly 1 hour and 16 minutes.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. The trail is officially waymarked as CHTT, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

As a Regional Walking Network (RWN) route, this trail is maintained and waymarked at the regional level. It typically connects towns, villages, and natural highlights across the wider area.
