Almost half of the county is covered by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Chiltern hills themselves stretch 75 miles, from Bedfordshire through Buckinghamshire to Oxfordshire, and are covered in impressive beech woods, spectacular in their autumn splendour.
A visit to The Chiltern Open Air Museum is recommended to appreciate the county’s vernacular heritage. Established more than 30 years ago, it aims to preserve some of the historic buildings unique to the locality and invites visitors to explore more than 30 buildings that span 200 years of history - all rescued from demolition. Another favourite destination is the typically Chiltern village of Turville, a popular film location (most recently Dibley in the TV comedy series The Vicar Of Dibley, starring actress Dawn French). Nearby Hambleden was the home of William Henry Smith, founder of the well-known high street chain W H Smith. He died in 1891 and is buried in the new cemetery. Lord Cardigan, famous for his role in leading the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade, was born in the Manor House. The sea chest that he took to the Crimea can be seen in the church.
Lovers of historic homes staying at one of our cottages in Buckinghamshire are spoilt for choice. One of the finest, Waddesdon Manor, boasts one of the best examples of a Victorian garden in Britain.
