It was the weekend the clocks went back and Sunday was a bright, crisp autumnal day - perfect for a walk in the Chilterns. This follows part of the route used on other walks I have posted. At the end of it you can always pop into the Bull and Butcher for a refreshing drink and bite to eat!

The white windmill looked very picturesque set amongst the autumn colours and blue sky.

The path through the wood narrows as you get closer to the lane to Fingest.

It is worth popping into St Bartholomew, Church. It's unique twin-towers give the impression it is going to be a larger church but it is quite small and narrow once you are inside.

The walk heads down Ashfield Barn Road for a short distance. At this point it is worth taking a slight detour to visit St. Nicholas Church.
