ストークンチャーチでののおすすめランニングルート

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.

Ibstone House, formerly the home of the well-known (in her time, and deserving of study even in our times). She lived here with her husband Henry from the 1930s to the 1970s. Henry died in the 1960s and is buried in a graveyard near this house

This sarsen stone was dug up in nearby Great Close Field and placed here to mark the dawn of the third millennium.

A lovely bit of woodland just south of the village of Ibstone. Great for leisurely walks, with a combination of wide, fully-accessible tracks and narrower footpaths. The beeches - so common in this part of the world - stand proud all around you, and in the spring and summer you will see lots of bluebells in places.

Lodge Hill (on The Ridgway National Trail) is at 209m. There are lovely views in any direction from up here, and a useful bench has even been placed up here so that you can appreciate the world from a sedentary position. This is one terrific place to make a stop.

This church dates back to the 12th century, and much of it is the same as it was then (I find that rather impressive). It was built by the Knights Templar. The church has a medieval feeling alright - less decorative, with its walls have that 'massive' feeling to them. Do step inside to admire the rather impressive altar.

Great spot to absorb some local history, with terrific hilltop views over the landscape.

Discover the fascinating history of The Hellfire Caves, a network of chalk and flint tunnels that extend 500 meters underground. There are visual info boards here, a cafe, and amazing views over the surrounding countryside.
