The River Thames runs through the gentle Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire and the Vale of Aylesbury. There’s a real sense of the quiet English countryside with plenty of places to visit and time to unwind. You might like to visit Cliveden, home of the Astors, or maybe the youngsters would love the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden. There’s something to suit everyone in this peaceful shire.
