Boasting magnificent views over the Vale of Aylesbury, Chinnor Hill is a patchwork of calcareous wildflower grassland, scrub and woodland. A network of bridleways including stretches of the ancient Ridgeway National Trail offer many miles of outstanding riding.

This is one of the quarries here, a part of the former Chinnor Chalk Pit, now flooded and known as Old Kiln Lakes. The lakes are freshwater, but very alkaline, and there was a warning to the public issued in 2012 to not swim in there. It's a striking and moon-like place, looking very dramatic and slightly out-of-this-world. A definite must!

Midshires Way is a farmland track between Bledlow and Hempton Wainhill. There are beautiful views to enjoy of Bledlow Great Wood and the forested Wain Hill within it (to the south). And great many opportunities for 'sheep-spotting' too. A pleasant, tranquil segment.

Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building. This Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century (at least the preserved parts of it do). The tower has 8 bells, the south porch has Buckinghamshire's oldest doors (apparently!), and fragments of medieval paintings and 16th century texts are on the walls.

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.

The Lyde Gardens is a beautiful enchanted privately owned garden that's open to the public. Enjoy wandering around a mosaic of waterfalls, ponds, and streams.

Best Indian food and dog friendly on the patio

This quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and well known by geologists for its phenomenal history. Packed with fossils, some of the finds here date back 100 million years. There's no public access, but you can catch glimpses of its bright high-alkaline water from the surrounding footpaths.
