Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns is a hugely attractive natural environment with many places of historical and cultural interest. Its attractions are diverse in character and not easy to sum up in a few words or a neat strap line.

Very close to London, with an underground station at Amersham , it’s no wonder this beautiful place has been home to the country retreats of many of our country’s Prime Ministers for centuries. 

This area is widely known for:

• its landscape and the outdoor opportunities for walking, cycling, watersports and canals, wildlife-watching, camping
• its history and heritage, especially the great houses and gardens and National Trust properties
• its beautiful Market Towns with their heritage buildings and connections to historical events, markets and antique shops
• its Literary, TV and film connections from John Milton, Enid Blyton and Terry Pratchett to Roald Dahl , Midsomer Murders and Pinewood
• its local food and drink, especially its gastro-pubs and micro-breweries
• its Arts, crafts and many studios which are open to the public
• its opportunities for children, both in children’s attractions and for safe outdoor activities
