About
The Chilterns are made up of ancient trails and charming villages with a beauty that is emphasised by the diverse natural landscape. There are stunningly rare types of native fauna and flora that are hidden in the chalklands, including the endangered Adonis Blue Butterfly, the rare Chiltern Gentian flower and the vulnerable Pasqueflower.
In a bygone era, the Chilterns were nicknamed the ‘Larder of London’, supplying local and neighbouring areas with produce cultivated from its fertile land. The local food and drink scene is thriving and in and amongst this beautiful countryside.
We believe that there’s no better way to experience the heart and soul of the land than by journeying through its ancient corridors to visit the local artisans working the earth, and to taste the delicious food and drink produced.
