Two Museums Walk: Misbourne, Mills & Milton
Saturday 24th May, from 2pm
Plotting a picturesque route along the River Misbourne, this guided walk between two museums takes in the landscape, literature and heritage of the Chilterns.
Starting at Amersham Museum, home of local stories, you’ll follow in the footsteps of local quakers and other religious radicals on this scenic route to Milton’s Cottage, where John Milton completed his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost.
This is an easy 4 mile walk through fields and woods, suitable for all ages. Conditions may be muddy, so please dress for seasonal weather and wear suitable footwear.
Tickets cost £6.50 (free for young people under 18) and include refreshments and an optional tour of Milton’s Cottage, where this guided walk ends. Booking is via the Chilterns Walking Festival website: https://bookwhen.com/cwf/e/ev-s6ds-20250524140000
