Location of a nice Pub

Beautiful village and a great Sunday roast at the Bull and Butcher. Well worth the trip

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.

This is a spectacularly picturesque village in the heart of the Chiltern Hills. Almost everything about it screams "quaint and English". Little wonder that this was where a lot of the sitcom "The Vicar of Dibley" was shot. At the foot of Turville Hill (easy to climb in a few minutes from the village), the village has the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church and a terrific pub. Overlooking the village from the hill is the Cobstone Windmill. In the spring and summer, the beautiful houses and their gardens are teeming with colourful flowers. Of beautiful English villages, this is one of the best I've ever seen. It makes you feel you're in the Cotswolds. That kind of thing.

Unless we didn’t find the right entrance to this path at the Princes Risborough end, off Lower Icknield Way, there is no way this is a bike path for a while. Right next to Horsenden Farms is a Pink Route that goes over thick grass (not rideable) and as far as we could see, still on grass with thick thorny weeds - we decided to give up and turn back. The track leading to Horsenden Farm is signposted as not having access to Phoenix Trail. We did not find any signs pointing to the trail around where the maps say it is.

This delightful little Chilterns village is glorious to pass by, it's appeared in many tv shows and films such as The Vicar of Dibley and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

An impressive and very old cemetery
