Bacombe Hill Local Nature Reserve is a beautiful patch of chalk grassland that boasts lovely views towards the Vale of Aylesbury. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its grassland, which supports some rare flowers and butterflies. The reserve is also renowned for its orchids.

Just a short walk from Wendover, this is a lovely spot to bring a picnic. If you're feeling energetic, the marvellous viewpoint of Coombe Hill is just a little way further up the path.

Nice gentle walk uphill with downland, scrub and woodland on the central Chilterns’ escarpment. It has a mix of mature beech woodland at the top of the climb. Waymarked as Ridgeway.

Small walk looping back on itself only took one hour. So said 5 miles !
