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

Amazing stop for pizza. Bike racks, outside and inside seating and good service

The Oxford Way long-distance footpath runs for 68 miles (109 km) from Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, all the way to Henley-on-Thames. It goes through the Cotswolds to the Chiltern Hills. This is a nice woodland section that passes through Queen Wood, just south of Christmas Common, where incidentally there is a good pub!

The road takes you through sprawling fields of wildflowers and crops, adding bursts of colour to the landscape hills. This is a fantastic road for cycling, with spectacular views a plenty!

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.

This church has changed very little since 1437, which is quite special and not usual in itself. Many people come here to visit the tomb of Alice de la Pole (Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter). A lot of the church is here thanks to the vision of Thomas Chaucer (Geoffrey's son) and his Alice (whose husband was the Duke of Suffolk): they founded a chantry chapel and trust. There are also almshouses here and a school, built in 1432 by Alice and her husband.

"Downs" in geography means "rounded and grass-covered hills", so do not be mistaken by the name. This area, just on the edge of the Chilterns, affords lovely, far-reaching views to the west and north over the fields and pastures. It's a great place to be. Additionally, it's also a Site of Special Scientific Interest: chalk grassland, described by Natural England as abounding by its moths and butterflies. See if you can spot any!
