Great Western Railway Steam Locomotive 5526 at Chinnor Station

Highlight • Structure

No. 5526 was built at Swindon Works in May 1928 as part of Lot 251, and cost the princely sum of £3,602 (which included £737 for the boiler!). Until 1958 she was almost exclusively based in the West Country, including Exeter and Plymouth and for much of the time at Truro, where workings would have included branch line services to Falmouth and Newquay, etc.

Old Kiln Lakes Wetland Habitat

Highlight • Natural

This quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and well known by geologists for its phenomenal history. Packed with fossils, some of the finds here date back 100 million years. There's no public access, but you can catch glimpses of its bright high-alkaline water from the surrounding footpaths.

St Mary the Virgin Church, Radnage

Highlight • Historical Site

This church dates back to the 12th century, and much of it is the same as it was then (I find that rather impressive). It was built by the Knights Templar. The church has a medieval feeling alright - less decorative, with its walls have that 'massive' feeling to them. Do step inside to admire the rather impressive altar.

Chinnor Windmill and St. Andrew's Church

Highlight • Monument

Nestled below the Chiltern escarpment, Chinnor is a large village on the Ridgeway National Trail, which follows the ancient Icknield Way — one of Britain's oldest roads. A large chalk quarry is conspicuous to the south of the village.

Colourful walks abound in the surrounding wooded hills, with some spectacular views north towards the Vale of Aylesbury. Nearby Chinnor Hill Nature Reserve boasts wildflowers and nature in abundance, especially in the summer months.
