What to Do in Buckinghamshire

Wendover Woods is 325 hectares of mixed coniferous and broadleaved woodland.  Located on the northern edge of the Chiltern escarpment this wood has spectacular views across the Aylesbury Vale.  For the energetic there is a large permanent orienteering course and a fitness trail. Orienteering maps can be collected during the week from the office or the Wendover Tourist Information Centre.  Other facilities include a children’s play area, toilets, barbeque stands, cycle routes and horse trails.  

The River Thames, at 215 miles (346km), is the second largest river in England stretching from its source in Kemble, Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in London. The Thames flows through the counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey before reaching London, has 45 locks and has a towpath that runs from the beginning to end! The Thames Path is a designated public footpath and there maybe restrictions for cyclists, as this is not a cycle route. The Thames passes through many historical towns and picturesque villages, and has much to offer both walkers and the boating fraternity with festivals, boat races, rallies and regattas, riverside pubs, restaurants, wildlife and glorious scenery.
