Koko's cafÃ©

Koko's styles itself as a 'gourmet food trailer'. Tucked away behind Amersham cricket club, the simple pop-up café makes a welcome pitstop for passing walkers. Reflecting the proprietor's Bosnian origins, the signature lunchtime speciality is burek - a savoury pastry. At the time of writing, Koko's was open daily except Monday, subject to weather.

Amersham footpath 27

Far too many public footpaths around Amersham and Little Missenden are ploughed up by farmers, leaving walkers to find their own way through the crops. But there's no mistaking footpath 27, immaculately defined and properly waymarked.
