Henley Hills Hike: September 30th

Regular price £7.00 Sale

Supporting Hearing Dogs:

£7 will go towards running the event and the remainder of your sign up fee will go to support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

"We train clever dogs to help deaf people. To alert them to important and life-saving sounds they would otherwise miss – such as the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even a baby's cry. Being aware of these – thanks to a hearing dog – makes a real difference to deaf people’s lives, and can even save them.."  

Henley Punt

Heading out from Mill End sees us cross the amazing Hambleden lock. We hit the south bank of the River Thames and follow it's flow, passing Temple Island, it's folly and meadows. We chase the river all the way to its famous location for the Royal Henley Regatta, the only thing missing is the Pimm's! We explore the back country to this beautiful town, who knows we might bump into one of its many celebrity residents?

The route takes us north through Middle Assendon, onto the majestic Stonor park home to the Stonor family, Baron Camoys. We explore the parkland and it's resident game and wildlife before heading to Southend, no 'kiss me quick' hats and Ice creams here mind, it's a beautiful rural hamlet sitting just inside Buckinghamshire. Walking south back into Hambleden, with it's chocolate box flint clad church and cottages. Hopefully with time to get into the Stag & Huntsman for some liquid refreshment!
