バッキンガムのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

From here it is not far to the Palladian Bridge.

Enjoyable stretch of jogging along the beautiful River Great Ouse that runs through Buckingham.

Meander along paved paths through the pretty Bourton Park. The park is home to a diverse eco-system featuring kingfishers, frogs, and otters.

Woodland walk along the edge of the magnificent Stowe Landscape Gardens. If you have time, you may want to divert into the gardens and explore the many structures and statues here.

The market town of Buckingham makes for a relaxing stop after a day walking in the countryside. As is typical of a market town, it is adorned by many pubs, restaurants and great places to stay. It was the county town of Buckinghamshire from the 10th century until the early 18th century, when Aylesbury took on the mantle. A disastrous fire around this time meant that much of its centre had to be rebuilt. However, the town recovered well and still holds on to its traditional charm.

Surrounding Stowe House, the grand 18th-century home of the powerful Temple-Grenville family, Stowe Landscape Gardens are a Georgian delight. Winding paths take you along lakesides, past architectural treats and to picture-postcard views. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on leads and there are even designated water bowls along the trails.

Stowe House is a beautiful Grade I-listed country house, surrounded by wonderful parkland and majestic gardens. The gardens and park are owned by the National Trust and are open to the public, while Stowe House itself is the home of the independent Stowe School. The estate has existed in various forms since the 16th century but it was in the 18th century that the powerful Temple-Grenville family built the lavish country house. It was said to be so grand that even Queen Victoria was taken aback by the splendour of its interior. However, wild parties, scandal and excessive spending saw the Temple-Grenville's go from the richest family in England to the greatest debtors in the world. Fortunately for Stowe House, investors revived its fortunes in 1922, when the school was founded.

Off the beaten track and less visited but stunning, be wary of the animal faeces splattered everywhere.
