1. National Trust Stowe

4.5 based on 1,183 reviews
The scale, grandeur and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the 18th century to the present day. Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delightful visit, any time of year.

These are the most spectacular gardens to visit. Be prepared to walk about 3 miles and use the map provided at the entrance to get the best experience. There is a buggy ride if you need it.After a short walk from the New Inn, you enter the gardens and are treated to a spectacular view across the lake towards the house. As you walk around the estate, you come across quirky structures, statues, glades and more. There’s a surprise around every corner. Stowe is a wonderful example of 18th century opulence- a great example of showing off about wealth , a legacy that we can still enjoy today.
2. The Mitre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
A 10 minute walk from the centre of Buckingham takes you to the town's oldest pub. A cosy atmosphere is enhanced by a real open fire as well as a new log burner in winter. As you would expect from a free house, the Mitre has changing and interesting beers, featuring guests from all over the UK as well as local breweries such as Blackpit. Major sporting events are shown on the five large-screen Sky and BT TV and, if games clash, different matches can be shown at once. The pub also has a beautiful new piano which landlord Pete will regularly jump on to sing a few songs and many locals also play. Pete bought the pub in May 2017 and since then the toilets have been refurbished and a new oak bar and a new cellar chilling system installed with all new pipework. The land behind the previous garden has been extended and re-landscaped.

If you are ever in Buckingham looking for a good pub to go to it is worth stretching ones legs and make your way to The Mitre. Proper beer, guest ales, open fires, large garden, and a great atmosphere year round. Well worth it.

Visited the museum while staying in Buckingham - a lovely little town with lots going on there. The museum, although small, was most interesting and the building in which it is housed is unusual - looking like a small castle. The staff were exceptionally helpful - firstly on the day of our museum visit and then the following day to get advice at the Tourist Information bureau. We were told of two very interesting places to visit - great advice indeed.

The volunteers that work here were very welcoming and friendly and gave us a leaflet explaining the history of this lovely, old building. Such a nice atmosphere, a great place to sit and relax with a hot drink. We had a hot chocolate and a coffee, they were very nice and very reasonably priced. Also a great place to pick up a bargain book.
