Easy to get to we parked in a large free car park On Chorley hill, then walked to church lane, a few minutes walk. We had lunch in the small cafe where the staff were very friendly then set off into the hell caves, it was a great fun, we took lots of pictures then after we explored the local area and walked up the hill to explore the church and mausoleum

West Wycombe Park, house, was built during the 18th century, (1740-1780), Under the instruction of its owner, Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet. It was built in the neo-classical style, very italianate,unusual for English architecture. Very elaborate furniture & decoration adorn its interior, although, when visiting, only the ground floor can be explored, as the upper floors are still occupied by the Dashwood family.The house lies in 45 acres of grounds, with small temples dotted around, making it a very beautiful place to visit. The property was given to the National Trust in the 1940s by the 10th baronet, its open during the summer months, although the grounds can be explored most of the year. The property is accessed via the High st running through West Wycombe village, which is also Nat Trust, in the village, you'll a couple of lovely old pubs & an excellent tea room, the grounds of W W park, does not have a tea room.The house has been used as a backdrop in many tv dramas, including Downton abbey & Cranford. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful house & its grounds.

If you Google: 'Chilterns AONB West Wycombe to Bradenham pdf', you will find a PDF with various walks around the Chilterns (including the West Wycombe - Bradenham walk). This is an excellent circular walk from West Wycombe up to Bradenham (or you can carry on to Saunderton) and then back round to West Wycombe. There is decent parking in West Wycombe and the walk is brilliant. Passes through some untouched sections of the Chilterns and Bradenham is a great little village with a very nice village green. The whole walk maybe takes 2.5 hours but, apart from climbing the hill to the Mausoleum at the start, is relatively flat.
