Hampden House

Highlight • Historical Site

This site was the home of the Hampden family from Saxon times. Parts of the present house date back to the 14th century and the core is a late 16th century hall. It was almost totally rebuilt in the 1750s in so-called Strawberry Hill Gothic style, including the battlements and pointed arch windows. More recently it was used as the setting for Hammer House of Horror films. The Hampden family finally sold the house in 1985. It is now owned by an insurance company and used as a venue for weddings.

View from the Grangelands and the Rifle Range

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a phenomenal view to the north from here - long sweeping views of the forested hills and down towards Great Kimble and beyond. This is the stuff of poets live for!

By the way, do give the Granglelands and the Rifle Range information board a read for more information about this beautiful chalk grassland area. The place is teeming with life: including butterflies such as Brimstones, Common Blues and Marbled Whites to be spotted in the spring and summer months.

Whiteleaf Cross

Highlight • Monument

Whiteleaf Cross is a striking hill carving on Whiteleaf Hill in Buckinghamshire. The carving, which reveals the underlying chalk, depicts a Christian cross sat on top of a triangular base, like the top of a church's gable. The exact origin of the carving is unclear, with the earliest reference dating back to 1742.

View from Whiteleaf Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Whiteleaf is within easy walking distance of the train station (you can get a train to Princes Risborough - walk a little, then get the train back from Monks Risborough) and has a beautiful viewpoint. It also looks very different depending on what time of year you visit! Definitely a place to go and sit and think. :)
