A nice find off the A413 is St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell. It's easy to miss as it is down a lane; St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell is a captivating historical site. This church showcases a blend of architectural styles from the late 11th century to the 19th century, with Norman, 13th-century, and Victorian features. Inside, the church houses the tombs of the Dayrell family, providing a glimpse into local history. The church's serene location, outside the modern village surrounded by countryside in and near Manor Farm, enhances its timeless appeal.

Lying in a rolling Buckinghamshire landscape of arable fields, pasture and woodland, Foxcote Reservoir is the kind of place that rewards patient visitors. Created in 1956 by damming a small tributary of the River Great Ouse, this site has become important for the numbers of wintering waterfowl, especially wigeon and coot. https://www.bbowt.org.uk/nature-reserves/foxcote-reservoir

The Butchers Arms Fringford and Matilda's closed in Nov 2022. Unlikley to open anytime soon. Check before you go.

Cracking cafe in the middle of Brackley, set in - you guessed it - an old fire station. Good coffee, bike spaces and friendly staff.

A nice little coffee shop with inside and outside seating . Built to blend in with the new housing in Deanshanger

Final approach is via a footpath. Standing over 100 feet high, Wolfe's Obelisk is difficult to miss. It was moved in 1754 from the centre of the Octagon Lake where it was used as a fountain to its current position in the parkland, the layers of bricks were taken down and moved by hand as part of this. The obelisk serves as another eye catcher and can be seen from various locations within the gardens. It's dedicated to General Wolfe who was the victor of Quebec in 1759 and a friend of Earl Temple. The location in the parkland means the monument is regularly subjected to winds of up to 100 miles per hour, three coats of lime wash help to protect against this.
