Chiltern Open Air Museum

None

Chiltern Open Air Museum is an independant charity, which is now open to the public every day from 31st March to 26th October. Now the biggest tourist attraction in southern Buckinghamshire, it was established 31 years ago in Chalfont St Giles with the aim of preserving some of the historic buildings which are unique examples of the heritage of the Chilterns. Visitors can explore more than 30 historic buildings (that span 200 years of history) all rescued from demolition that have been re-erected on the museum's beautiful 45 acre woodland and parkland site. Lots to see and do for all the family, visit www.coam.org.uk for more details.

Admission - Adult: £7.50, Concession: £6.50, Child (5-16yrs): £5, Family (2 Adults + 2 Children): £22. For details of costs for Group and Educational/School visits please see the website.
