Walk 4b - Chesham Circular - alternative ending

Rather than finish by walking for over 1km along quite a busy road, it may be pleasanter to return to Chesham through Lowndes Park, which brings you right into the town centre.

Here are brief directions for doing this, starting from the Chesham Circular pdf download, page 2, middle of last paragraph. Where the direction says "In 100 metres, ignore a path forking down to the right", take this right fork which leads down through the wood and then down across a field to a road. Turn left and in 180m cross a stile on the right to climb quite steeply up a field and then follow an enclosed footpath out to another road. Here turn left and keep to the main road for 280m as it bends right and then left. Turn right at a footpath sign and in 60m cross a stile on the left to continue for 1.5km in a south-easterly direction all the way back into Chesham, initially through fields, alongside woods, and later through Lowndes Park, where you can get a fine view of the town from the Mound, a little to the left of the main path. Descend past a skate park to the pond you passed at the start of the walk and retrace your steps to the station.
