Here, Chair and Everywhere Trail (Self-Guided)

Discover places where Wycombe’s chair heritage was made on this walking trail.

Discover nine historic sites, including Wycombe’s first chair factory, furniture showrooms, chair arches, and an original, still-standing traditional factory building.

The route is a 1.7 mile long circuit, and takes around an hour on foot.

The trail is available as a downloadable PDF or a physical map that can be picked up from the museum and is available throughout July.

There is accessible parking at Wycombe Museum during opening hours, and road-side parking on surrounding roads at all other times.

Facilities info: Toilets are available at the start of the route at Wycombe Museum (during opening hours), and periodically throughout the route: at the train station, the Eden Centre, the Library, and Morrisons. There is a cafe available at Wycombe Museum.
