Bacombe Hill Local Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Bacombe Hill Local Nature Reserve is a beautiful patch of chalk grassland that boasts lovely views towards the Vale of Aylesbury. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its grassland, which supports some rare flowers and butterflies. The reserve is also renowned for its orchids.

Just a short walk from Wendover, this is a lovely spot to bring a picnic. If you're feeling energetic, the marvellous viewpoint of Coombe Hill is just a little way further up the path.

Coombe Hill Viewpoint and Boer War Memorial

Highlight • Viewpoint

Standing at 852 feet (260 m) above sea level, Coombe Hill is the highest viewpoint in the Chilterns. From the summit, you experience enchanting views over the Aylesbury Vale and even as far as the Cotswolds on a clear day. The chalk grassland is one of the rarest habitats owned by the National Trust and has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

On the west slopes, you can see the nests of the extremely rare yellow meadow ant erupting from the landscape. The reserve is home to more than 30 species of wildflower and 28 species of butterfly.

View from the Grangelands and the Rifle Range

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a phenomenal view to the north from here - long sweeping views of the forested hills and down towards Great Kimble and beyond. This is the stuff of poets live for!

By the way, do give the Granglelands and the Rifle Range information board a read for more information about this beautiful chalk grassland area. The place is teeming with life: including butterflies such as Brimstones, Common Blues and Marbled Whites to be spotted in the spring and summer months.

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. :)
