An absolute gem of a museum that is well worth the journey just short of an hour from London. Great for fans of military history, WWI and WWII, and those connected to the Polish contingent who were stationed here during WWII and supported the allied effort. Our journey here was by public transportation, We took a train from the Marylebone Station to Wendover. From the station its a short walk to your right then a left at the main street continuing to the Clock Tower. From there, you have an option of taking bus #8 or continuing to walk another roughly 20 minutes to arrive at the base. The museum is only open on Tuesdays. You will need to show ID to get on the base. The Trenchard Museum is small, but tells the story of the technical training arm of the Royal Air Force. A number of exhibits show the various types of training that was provided here. Our visit was specific in looking for information connected to my dad’s time here in the 1940s as part of the Polish contingent. We were fortunate to be able to view the archives in a second building where we were able to view photos, letters, stories and articles about the 300+ Polish boys who attended RAF Halton - including references to my dad. This was a much unanticipated treasure trove. We returned from the archives to the museum and browsed the exhibits. Included is a special display devoted to the Polish boys who served here. Also of note was an exhibit detailing the training undertaken by the armory apprentices. We end our visit with a viewing of a memorial on the grounds to the Polish contingent of RAF Halton. A rich history is presented at the Trenchard Museum that explains the important contribution of all who attended and served here, including the not widely known Polish chapter of the story.

Wendover Woods is a special place in the Chilterns and is home to a variety of beautiful forest trails which boast stunning views. Offering a great day out with something for everyone, Wendover Woods has miles of walking, running and cycling trails. Encounter ancient monuments, admire the views over the Chilterns Hills and enjoy a picnic or barbecue! For the family, there’s the new accessible play trail, Gruffalo Orienteering and Zog. If you’re feeling energetic there’s also our fitness trail assault course or Go-Ape Tree Top Adventure. The Forest Centre has recently undergone a £4.5 million redevelopment. This includes a brand new car park removing traffic from the main visitor area, cafe and staffed information point to provide support for visitors. The new cafe is based in an idyllic setting and increases the space available for visitors to enjoy a drink and something to eat whilst taking in the fabulous views.

My first visit to Wendover woods,definitely not my last, what a brilliant place! Came here on New Year's Day with our daughter and completed the Farmaggedon Shaun the Sheep trail, which was about a 2.5km trek around the woods. It was lovely, dog friendly, clean toilet facilities, nice cafe and plenty to keep the little ones happy especially the play park near the information point. If you're visiting for the first time, the central part of the postcode on your sat navs takes you to the exit only part of the wood so dont drive past the big entrance sign expecting another way in, there isn't one. Secondly, you do have to pay for parking, I don't think its ridiculously overpriced but save yourself queuing at the end by downloading the Glide parking app prior to going as you can then pay once you leave via the app.

We popped in for a drink and will definitely be going back. I had a prosecco which was lovely and served in a beautiful glass, my partner had a glass of red. The service was excellent. The two guys serving were really great. We were talked through the menu which we can't wait to try and we talked about all the different cheeses they serve that looked delicious. We ended up joining the wine club. It really was a great experience and we are so looking forward to returning.
