Unfortunately raw sewage is being pumped into the river further upstream. Water is not safe for children or pets anymore. 😡

View of the River Chess

Highlight • Viewpoint

A perfect rural river setting with a wooden bridge and a lovely mix of grasses and trees, all coloured with nature's palette. Catching the flow at its highest makes for an even more stunning setting!

Sheep Fields in Chilterns National Landscape

Stroll through beautiful open fields filled with friendly sheep. This is a great place for the kids to have a run around, just make sure to keep any pups on a leash.

With Latimer House behind, you can look down the valley at the river Chess and Latimer Park Farm. On the day we passed through the fields were *full* of sheep, but I can’t guarantee they’ll be there for you.
