Magical eight acres of landscaped ornamental gardens with herbaceous borders, riverside walk, rose garden, water-lily canal, alpine garden and a silent space as well as five acres of orchards.

Founded by Beatrix Havergal (1901–1980) who established the Waterperry School of Horticulture in 1932 until her retirement in 1971.

Enjoy the tea shop, and perhaps visit the museum, gallery, garden shop, gift shop or plant centre.

Perfect for a sunny day. Opens from 12 noon most days, not far from Thame.

Long Straight road, no traffic, just dog walkers and cyclists. Host to the Duck Race every year, and overall a good place to look at the river. These days, parts have been closed due to the disrepair, and the road surface isnt brilliant. But if you want to test your straight line speed, or look at the border of Oxon and Bucks, not a bad place.

Good coffee shop with bike locks outside. Large space, and a sausage roll with Chutney + Crips + Drink for £6-7.
Convenient spot in the lovely village of Chinnor for riders from the Chilterns, Ridgeway, and Thame.
