Tips from the Community
Stiftung Lesen review: A little mouse is walking around in the forest and enjoying life. And then she meets a fox, an owl and a snake, all of whom invite her to their homes very warmly and certainly without any ulterior motives. Fortunately, the little mouse is not stupid. And so she politely but firmly declines the invitations - because she already has a date: with the Gruffalo! He has terrible claws, teeth, tusks and paws and loves to eat fox skewers, snake puree or owls with icing. No wonder that the would-be hosts make a hasty getaway. And the mouse is having a great time, because she just invented the Gruffalo! Or maybe not?? A wonderfully rhymed read-aloud at its finest, which with lots of imagination, wit and hidden meaning will delight not only children from around 5 years of age.

Interesting place of ancient fort. You can see barriers from soil and imagine how high they were 7000 years ago.

The hill (260m) is in the middle of the Wendover Woods. It'd be difficult to tell unless you know, but there is an Iron Age hill fort here, which would've been a very strong position in the past. Once you know, it's possible to find the fort's remains amongst the trees. There is an information board here, providing further information about the site.

As English villages in the Chiltern Hills go, this one is one of the most attractive. This is the kind of place I tend to think of when I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means "a woodland clearing". Another little fun fact: Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., lived here and built a Manor house here in 1900. He was associated with the Art Nouveau style.

This is a lovely, family run cafe that serves gorgeous hot beverages and delicious food. It enjoys marvellous views across the Chiltern countryside. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, from hiking and cycling to a Go Ape course up in the trees.
