Standing at 852 feet (260 m) above sea level, Coombe Hill is the highest viewpoint in the Chilterns. From the summit, you experience enchanting views over the Aylesbury Vale and even as far as the Cotswolds on a clear day. The chalk grassland is one of the rarest habitats owned by the National Trust and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

On the west slopes, you can see the nests of the extremely rare yellow meadow ant erupting from the landscape. The reserve is home to more than 30 species of wildflower and 28 species of butterfly.
