3. Warburg Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings

High up in the Chiltern hills, Warburg Nature Reserve is a magnificent place for its wild, remote tranquillity. The flower-rich grasslands in the valley bottom give way to grand woodlands rising up the valley sides.Warburg is home to an incredible range of habitats sheltering thousands of species, and each season there is something interesting to experience. In spring, the woodland is awash with spectacular bluebells and wood anemones. In May and June the reserve has a dawn chorus second to none. The wide sunny rides and open glades of chalk grassland are full of summer flowers, including pyramidal orchid and swathes of aromatic wild marjoram and thyme. These are followed by autumn and Chiltern gentians and glorious colours throughout the tree canopy, while down below, an incredible 900 species of fungi grow. In winter, you can enjoy magical frost along the valley bottom.

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom
Built in the 11th century, this tiny church is a delight, set in the secluded Oxfordshire hamlet of Swyncombe. A feature is the beautifully carved wooden Rood Screen, though us much more recent dating from the early 20th century. The font has a beautifully carved wooden cover. There is a lovely pale blue wooden ceiling. Well worth venturing into the countryside to find this gem of mediaeval religious architecture.

On a few days break from the grind we took ourselves off to Henley-on-Thames, the Thames path is a wonderful way to explore the river and to watch the world go by. We took a picnic and found a lovely shaded spot in view of the river and the many boats that pass. You must walk up to one of the many locks to watch the boats passing through.
