Grangelands Reserve

Grangelands nature reserve forms the final stretch of a circular walk we love at Pulpit Hill in Princes Risborough.

Descending from the woodland and leaving the confines of the Bronze Age hillfort at its peak, you descend through sheep-grazed meadows, coils of wool caught on every bramble, join a short stretch of the Ridgeway National Trail, before entering into the Grangelands.

We're usually exhausted by this point, carrying the children on our backs, but the views of the treeline from the basin are always breathtaking - even on a grey day, as these photos show.
