A legendary village sign put up by locals years ago. Worth a pilgrimage to, or at least a photo to say youβve been there!

A wonderful view over the sweeping Chiltern Hills. It's well worth pausing to catch your breath here and watch sheep grazing in the patchwork farmland. The hills in this area played an important role in London's development, providing chalk that was used in construction. The quarries have long since been closed and the area is a picture of countryside idyll and a spectacular place to cycle.
