The 6.5-mile linear route tackles Whiteleaf Cross and Coombe Hill.
The eight-mile self-guided circular route takes in Whiteleaf Cross. This option includes mapped directions so walkers can make their way around the route at their own pace.
The ten-mile linear route allows walkers to complete all three peaks (Whiteleaf Cross, Coombe Hill and Ivinghoe Beacon) with a bus journey between Wendover and Tring station taking out some of the miles.

Tracey Hancock, director of fundraising at Rennie Grove Hospice Care, said: “Last year almost 1,000 people hiked through the stunning Chiltern Hills for our thirteenth annual Chilterns 3 Peaks challenge. It’s a fantastic event each year and people who take part always tell us how much they enjoy the stunning scenery, the chance to meet new people and the sense of accomplishment when they complete the walk.”
She added: “The funds raised by this event are invaluable in allowing Rennie Grove to continue offering specialist care and support for adults and children with life-limiting illnesses across Buckinghamshire and West Hertfordshire.
