Chilterns Discovery Day

30 Experiences,  2 Days, One Welcome

For two days in July, we invite you to sample delicious local menus, discover a slower pace alongside the River Thames, watch the moon rise over Ivinghoe Beacon, take yoga in the woods - or enjoy a good story there, buy local souvenirs and enjoy well-earned family time across the Chilterns National Landscape. ​​

The event is over for this year, but do take a look at below as these businesses are still open and ready to welcome you this summer.

Wendover Woods

Wendover Woods are a local favourite because they are so well geared toward families and outdoor exploration, boasting excellent, buggy-friendly paths, excellent woodland play areas and more high octane cycling or more relaxing yoga in the woods.
