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!

Lovely cruisy descent, particularly pretty in May with the yellow fields

Nestled below the Chiltern escarpment, Chinnor is a large village on the Ridgeway National Trail, which follows the ancient Icknield Way — one of Britain's oldest roads. A large chalk quarry is conspicuous to the south of the village. Colourful walks abound in the surrounding wooded hills, with some spectacular views north towards the Vale of Aylesbury. Nearby Chinnor Hill Nature Reserve boasts wildflowers and nature in abundance, especially in the summer months.

Chinnor Windmill is a historic flour mill originally built in 1789. It was demolished in 1967 but is being lovingly restored by local volunteers. You can read more here: http://chinnor-windmill.blogspot.com/
