What are you waiting for? Get outdoors and enjoy Buckinghamshire, a beautiful county, characterised by a variety of landscapes; soft rolling hills and lush wooded valleys, wide, open vales, the majestic meandering river and dark dense forests. Over a third of the county is covered by the Chilterns Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, which stretches right across the southern part of Buckinghamshire. The northern half of the county is equally rural, with quiet lanes that meander through pretty villages and farmsteads; a landscape rich in history and heritage.
There are over 2,500 miles of public rights of way, including footpaths, bridleways and National Trails, throughout Buckinghamshire. Whilst you explore, absorb the stunning views and admire the fantastic array of flora and fauna, from the distinctive beech trees that dot the hills, to the majestic red kites that swirl overhead.
