For various reasons, I had not been to the Chilterns since May! I thought I might be a bit late for the autumnal display of colour, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had another walk planned from the same starting point, but wandered off route (on purpose) and made this one up as I went along.

At the start of the walk, near to the church at Cadmore End.

I always enjoy seeing St. Mary's Church, Turville, on my walks.

This picture was taken on the return route, in the woods just below Turville Hill, on my way to Fingest.
