Standing at 764 feet (233 m), Ivinghoe Beacon towers over the surrounding countryside. Offering views of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire, it’s named after the fires that were once lit at the summit for navigation and communication. Due to the wind blowing up the hill, you'll often see model aircraft enthusiasts engaged in 'slope soaring' when the weather is good.

Great views from the top and the surrounding areas offer great planning opportunities as you can go from the exposed hilltop with great views to trails across fields and woodlands and have the opportunity to have a flat walk or one full of hills.

From the Ivinghoe Beacon you can see the Whipsnade Lion and in 2006 that lion was illuminated in the dark
