Tips from the Community
The Chilterns are a wonderful treat. Just a short journey from the centre of London, you are in the most beautiful countryside. If you live walks with a pub stop at many destinations, this is for you.

Winchmore Hill goes back to the 12th century: there used to be a small settlement here supporting farms grouped around a Common and a pond (those were the days). In 1958, the pond was filled in, but luckily the Common is still here, on the edge of what used to be Wycombe Heath: 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and material for firewood. It's a lovely hamlet. There is a great information board, from which you can learn more about the history of the place. And a good pub in a village can never be wrong! - so make sure you make a stop at The Plough!

This church was founded over 800 years ago. A number of elements in the church are very old (e.g., the nave is from the 12th century), but the Chapel was rebuilt in the 18th century. Of particular note is the "Penn Doom", one of just five surviving wooden tympanums in the UK. ("Tympanum" is the space between the round arch and the lintel over a doorway, found in many churches.) If you are one for churches, this one is a definite must, and if not... well, one's gotta start sometime!

A small and simple woodland, this, but there is definitely nothing 'rough' about the romantic deluge of bluebells here at the right time of the year! The spectacle is simply magnificent!

An enjoyable stroll along a pretty woodland path just north of Beaconsfield.

A network of footpaths will lead you through the sensational ancient woodland of Penn Wood. The woods are dominated by beautiful oak, beech, ash, and cherry trees with an understory of bluebells, wood anemones, and other wildflowers.
