Chesham is the first Walkers Are Welcome town in the Chilterns, achieving this status in 2010. Chesham is a place that walkers are encouraged to visit as part of their exploration of the area - which has a plethora of beautiful and varied walks, and all at the end of the Metropolitan line! Chesham nestles amongst beautiful valleys, has unique natural features such as the chalk stream River Chess and is adjacent to the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Chesham is an interesting place and we want to encourage visitor walkers to share its attractions with us.
