Wendover Woods
 

Situated on the northern edge of the Chiltern escarpment Wendover Woods affords spectacular views across the Aylesbury Vale. Within 325 hectares of mixed coniferous and broadleaved woodland you will find plenty to see and do. Either spend an energetic day orienteering and cycling followed by a rewarding drink and substantial slice of handmade cake in our forest cafe. Alternatively take it easy and stroll along the all ability trail to reach the Chiltern's highest point and relax with a picnic. Throughout your visit we hope you will get a chance to see the variety of wildlife. We manage the forest balancing recreation, conservation and timber production.
