Brush Hill Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to explore. With lovely views overlooking the ancient Chilterns landscape, the area is also an important habitat for wildlife, flowers, and birds. The chalk grassland is grazed by a flock of Herdwick sheep to conserve the mix of herbaceous wildflowers and support the butterfly population.

View from Whiteleaf Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Whiteleaf is within easy walking distance of the train station (you can get a train to Princes Risborough - walk a little, then get the train back from Monks Risborough) and has a beautiful viewpoint. It also looks very different depending on what time of year you visit! Definitely a place to go and sit and think. :)

Whiteleaf Cross

Highlight • Monument

Whiteleaf Cross is a striking hill carving on Whiteleaf Hill in Buckinghamshire. The carving, which reveals the underlying chalk, depicts a Christian cross sat on top of a triangular base, like the top of a church's gable. The exact origin of the carving is unclear, with the earliest reference dating back to 1742.
