    Hiking

    "Downs" in geography means "rounded and grass-covered hills", so do not be mistaken by the name. This area, just on the edge of the Chilterns, affords lovely, far-reaching views to the west and north over the fields and pastures. It's a great place to be.

    Additionally, it's also a Site of Special Scientific Interest: chalk grassland, described by Natural England as abounding by its moths and butterflies. See if you can spot any!
