From there, we’ll make our way through Mousells Wood before returning to Lacey’s for a well-earned coffee and a browse around the farm shop and deli.

This beautiful Chilterns walk from Nettlebed, takes in woodland, open countryside and some lovely hidden corners of this part of the Chilterns.
We’ll head through Nettlebed Common, past Bix Old Church and across Russell’s Water Common, with a few gentle hills along the way. Please note there is a very steep hill down on this walk, so please come with poles if you use them.
And there’s a very good reason to look forward to the finish, we’ll head back to The Cheese Shed for one of their famous cheese toasties!
