THINGS TO DO & SEE

We have dedicated a whole page to walking, hiking & cycling - including some ideas for local walks, strolls and yomps. Take a look on our WALKING & CYCLING page for more information.

Sadly, due to these uncertain times, we cannot accept responsibility if attractions are shut, or have limited access. We have been informed most will have at least some service for the duration of the campsite opening.

You would be wise to use the links below to find out more and book in advance, where required.

Churches & Religious

Jordans & The Quakers: http://www.jordansquakercentre.org/

The site has been a Quaker meeting house since 1688, and was in fact one of the first. Here lies William Penn, who founded Pennsylvania in the USA.

Countless local churches at Penn, Beaconsfield, Wooburn Green - and more locally, at Hedsor is St Nicholas'

St Nicholas' Church is known to date from the end of the 12th C but, due to its spectacular location, it is quite possible that there was a Saxon church or even an earlier Pagan temple on the site, as the known route of the Roman road from Silchester to St Albans crossing the Thames at Hedsor Wharf runs close by.
