Details

Access

Downley Common and Woods is located north of High Wycombe. There is parking opposite the Le De Spencers Arms pub or you can park around Downley Common if there is space. Press P on the map for directions.

The circular walking route shown on the map is about 5 km. The route is just a suggested one. I would recommend criss-cross adventuring through the woods to your heart's desire. Just be sure to be certain of the way back.
