4K Virtual walk / Amersham Old town and War Memorial park
Today's Virtual walk is in Amersham which is in the Chiltern district of Buckinghamshire England, 27 miles north-west of London. It is part of the London commuter belt.
Records date back to pre-Anglo-Saxon times when it was known as Agmodesham, and by the time of the Domesday Book which was written around 1086, it became known as Elmodesham.
I arrived at the train station and walked down to the old town. The virtual tour starts at the bottom of the main high street and I walk through the Town towards the War Memorial. Then I cross over the main Rd and head up the side streets.
My aim with the channel is to help people relax and help people who just can't get out anymore due to Illness or failing health. I want to give them the feeling of being there with me.
