Nice view from the bridge

The Dashwood Mausoleum, perched atop West Wycombe Hill, presents a fascinating blend of architectural intrigue and historical eccentricity. Built in the 1760s for Sir Francis Dashwood, the infamous founder of the Hellfire Club, the hexagonal, open-air structure stands as a unique testament to 18th-century design and the Dashwood family's legacy. Its construction, inspired by classical Roman architecture, creates a visually striking landmark against the backdrop of the Chiltern Hills. The site's historical connection to the Hellfire Club adds a layer of captivating, albeit sometimes controversial, narrative, drawing visitors interested in both architectural history and the more colourful aspects of English social history. The surrounding area also provides beautiful views of the local countryside, making it a worthwhile location to visit.

This is must go over bridge

Lovely little village - drinks and snacks available at the Post Office, or great food at the Stag and Hunstman pub.

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.
