Temperance Hall, Chesham

Highlight • Historical Site

A cluster of buildings that date back to the 14 Century. Always worth a visit when passing through.

Lowndes Park is a huge green space spanning 14.5 hectares (36 acres). The land was bought by William Lowndes in 1802 who demolished the Bury Hill House that stood on the land. He disposed of the demolished house at the top of the park which has created a 'Rolling Pin' shaped hill. During excavations in 2009, many empty wine bottles, a broken pot and even the remains of a pet cat and tortoise were found.

During the 19th century, the land was mostly used for grazing and public enjoyment until World War I, when it became a training site for soldiers.

Today, the park is a popular recreation spot for locals. You will find a skate park, play area, and toilets here.

St Leonard's Church

Highlight • Other

The history of the village of St Leonard's is tightly connected with the chapel of Leonard's - and this dates back to the 12th century. The present church, however, was built in the 15th century. As many such places, it has had a tumultuous history. For instance, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the chapel continued being used and Queen Elizabeth inquired in 1586 into why the chapel and the lands had not reverted to the Crown. The church feel into disrepair in the 17th century. What can be seen today is in the simple Queen Anne style, and was rebuilt around 1700s.

The whitewashed walls are striking and give the church a unique look. In the winter, it can look brilliant after snow, and in the spring, when the snowdrops come up (plenty of them in the church grounds), it also looks terrific.

St Leonards village and its historic church

Highlight • Settlement

St Leonards is a lovely sleepy village set amongst the Chiltern Hills. The picturesque village has a historic church dating back to the 12th century as well as a Saxon manor house. Soon, there will even be a pub in the village once more as new owners have bought the White Lion and is being refurbished.

Cholesbury Camp and St. Lawrence Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Located just outside Cholesbury village, Cholesbury Camp was once an important fort. Built between the 6th century BC and 1st century AD, the exact date of its construction is unknown.

The Iron Age hill fort is well-preserved. Today, you can visit the 6-hectare (15 acre) area and see the oval-shaped area with its ramparts. Cholesbury Camp is a scheduled ancient monument.
