As English villages in the Chiltern Hills go, this one is one of the most attractive. This is the kind of place I tend to think of when I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.

The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means "a woodland clearing". Another little fun fact: Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., lived here and built a Manor house here in 1900. He was associated with the Art Nouveau style.

Ideal pit stop - there's a pub at one corner and the green is perfect to relax before getting back on the saddle

Lovely village green near Lee Common. A few good benches for a pause, especially if you've just come up one of the hills leading to the green.
