(Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)
The Chilterns cover about 650 square miles of natural hills and valleys, across the Green Belt. From one part being only 30 miles from London It stretches across Buckinghamshire to The Dunstable Downs, Vale of Aylesbury and The South Cotswolds. The Chilterns is mostly a chalk hilly landscape with many Villages and Towns all of which I hope to photograph in the near future for this site. If you like walking there are many hundreds of miles of paths, you can follow the Chiltern way or the Ridgeway just to name two (rights of way). I have a page about Coombe Hill which is 257 Meters above sea level, from here you can see fantastic views across Aylesbury. Wendover Woods (Halton) just beats Coombe Hill, at 261 Meters above sea level, it's The highest point in the Chilterns.
The Chilterns is becoming increasingly under threat from developers, with the
Government demanding to have more homes built around Buckinghamshire. I hope
to put stories about any of those type of issues in my Green
Belt Issue Page.
