St Leonards village and its historic church
Highlight • Settlement
St Leonards is a lovely sleepy village set amongst the Chiltern Hills. The picturesque village has a historic church dating back to the 12th century as well as a Saxon manor house. Soon, there will even be a pub in the village once more as new owners have bought the White Lion and is being refurbished.

Cholesbury Camp and St. Lawrence Church
Highlight • Religious Site
Located just outside Cholesbury village, Cholesbury Camp was once an important fort. Built between the 6th century BC and 1st century AD, the exact date of its construction is unknown.
The Iron Age hill fort is well-preserved. Today, you can visit the 6-hectare (15 acre) area and see the oval-shaped area with its ramparts. Cholesbury Camp is a scheduled ancient monument.

Aldbury Village Pond
Highlight • Settlement
This small 'chocolate box' village is not quite as understated as it seems. Due to its closeness in proximity to Elstree Studio, it has been featured in quite the array of televisions and films.
Whilst it's probably best known internationally for its appearances in The Dirty Dozen and Bridget Jone's Diary, it's also featured in British gems such as Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and The Avengers.
