Chilterns Countryside (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Situated in the picturesque Chiltern Hills, this group of popular beauty spots offers great walking opportunities. Pleasant day long walks with a pub stop can take you through the intimate landscape of woods, farms and hamlets that make up much of the Chilterns. From Coombe Hill and Low Scrubs (near Wendover), you can explore other National Trust sites including Aston Wood and Juniper Bank, Bradenham Estate, Hogback Wood, Pulpit Wood, and Watlington Hill and Woods.
About the area
Buckinghamshire is a land of glorious beech trees, wide views and imposing country houses, such as Stowe and Waddesdon Manor, set amid sumptuous gardens and dignified parkland. The Vale of Aylesbury is a vast playground for leisure seekers, and rising above it are the Chiltern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where you can also find the woodland rides of Burnham Beeches.
