Hellfire Caves
26 Sep 2021
The Hellfire Caves are a network of man-made chalk and flint caverns which extend 0.25 miles underground. They are situated above the village of West Wycombe, at the southern edge of the Chiltern Hills near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, Southeast England.
We will meet in our usual meeting place in Hartley Wintney at around 09:15 for a 9:30 departure. The run of approximately 35 miles will be along A and B roads. On arrival we will ascend a short steep climb to a hill top providing fantastic views over High Wycombe and surrounding areas. While on the hill we will visit the Dashwood family Mausoleum and St Lawrence Church with a Golden Ball.
At around 12:00 we will descend the hill (either walking or driving) to explore the Hellfire caves.
We will then drive on to a nearby National Trust House (Hughenden Manor and Park Land) with extensive gardens and meadows providing opportunities for scenic walks.
The National Trust do run a cafe on the site although you may wish to push the boat out and bring a packed lunch for an enjoyable picnic in the park.
