Description
Beautiful English countryside begins...just outside London. Our tour takes us to the Chiltern Hills, officially designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (AONB). Only 33 such areas exist in all of England.
The Chilterns are less than a 90 minute drive from central London. The idea behind this tour is that we spend time sightseeing and visiting beautiful countryside locations, NOT driving for hours and hours. This is how your day might go:
Definitely: ancient villages, medieval churches, nice old pubs (for eating & drinking), winding lanes, rolling hills, wooded glades + Film & TV locations (Chitty Chitty, Vicar of Dibley, Midsomer Murders). History too: Domesday Book, Black Death, Reformation and Dissenters.
Maybe: bluebell woodlands (in spring), grazing muntjack deer (they’re very shy), cows, sheep, sun, blue skies, cloud, rain or snow (dress for the weather).
NB: I'm often asked to visit a beautiful area called the Cotswolds. Ask me and I will take you. My English Countryside tour is very nice too. It's the anti-Cotswolds tour. Lovely scenery, genuine history and old villages, closer to London and no tourists.
Additional Info
The English Countryside Tour lasts for 7 hours. Expenses for food and drink are not included.
Graham (that's me) is your tour guide and driver, providing commentary throughout the day. Many stops for photo opps and a bit of walking. Door-2-Door service - pick up and drop off anywhere in central London (extra charges may apply if different).
