Holmer Green Common

Highlight • Viewpoint

The village's green is quite huge (they call it Holmer Green for nothing, I suppose) and a great place to stop at. Check the information board here as it gives a lot of information about the village, and there is an interesting old map from 1742 there.

On the Common, the most interesting feature is the striking Horse Chestnut tree, in its north-west corner. Great for a shade on a hot summer day!

Toby's Lane and Beamond Wood

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Pleasant woods await you straight off Amersham Road - it's a simple woodland here, but an easy and efficient escape from the busy streets of Holmer Green. Easy, on-the-flat walking for most (perhaps not so easy with a pram) under trees and past some paddocks (fingers crossed there will be horses there when you walk).

Rough Park Bluebell Woodland

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A small and simple woodland, this, but there is definitely nothing 'rough' about the romantic deluge of bluebells here at the right time of the year! The spectacle is simply magnificent!

Shardeloes Lake

Highlight • Natural

Shardeloes Lake is a beautiful man-made lake situated between the villages of Old Amersham & Little Missenden in the Chiltern Hills. The lake provides a tranquil setting for a scenic walk, fishing, and bird-watching opportunities.

Highlight • Pub

Holy Trinity Church, Penn

Highlight • Religious Site

This church was founded over 800 years ago. A number of elements in the church are very old (e.g., the nave is from the 12th century), but the Chapel was rebuilt in the 18th century.

Of particular note is the "Penn Doom", one of just five surviving wooden tympanums in the UK. ("Tympanum" is the space between the round arch and the lintel over a doorway, found in many churches.)

If you are one for churches, this one is a definite must, and if not... well, one's gotta start sometime!
