We all know that Christmas is a time when we overindulge in roast potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and of course, desserts.
So here are five places you can visit in Buckinghamshire where you can enjoy a scenic walk whilst burning off your festive food.
Number 5: Wendover Woods
Located amongst the Chiltern Hills in the tiny village of Wendover near Aylesbury, the long trail is suitable for anyone of all ages.
With cafes at the entrance and exit, you can start with a hot drink to take around with you or end by treating yourself to a piece of cake.
There is also a bike path for any keen cyclists.
Number 4: Watermead Lake
It might be a bit damp if you visit this hidden gem in Bucks, but it’ll certainly be worth it.
The huge lake is home to many birds, whilst there is a massive path around the watery area for you to enjoy your wintery walk.
It’s recommended that trekkers should wear walking boots rather than trainers, and if you need a breather, there is a pub at the head of the lake.
Number 3: Higginson Park
The Marlow-based park can be used for many things, and a festive walk on Boxing Day can be one of them.
A good place for dog walkers to visit, there are plenty of benches if your feet start to get tired and of course, it’s situated right along the Thames so there will be plenty of trials to follow.
One to go to if you haven’t been there before.
Number 2: Coombe Hill
A trip up Coombe Hill will take you through the rare chalk grassland, and woodlands and give you views of the pretty of Ellesborough.
From the top, you will be able to see the Prime Minister's country retreat at Chequers.
The Coombe Hill and Chequers Trail circular route takes you through to the Boer War memorial. A great place to stop to take pictures and stop for a drink break.
Number 1: Hughenden Manor
Near High Wycombe, the National Trust estate of Hughenden Manor has 1,500 acres of parkland providing plenty of space to walk freely so you can still socially distance.
There are beautiful gardens and woodlands to walk through, where you can create your trail for whatever length you want.
Go for a short 1.5km walk, taking around 30 minutes, or an afternoon out for a couple of hours.
