Autumn
Stay in the cosy Barn in the cool, crisp days of autumn and enjoy our special seasonal breakfast menu.
This is a glorious time of year in our Chiltern beechwoods. Now is the time for walking as vistas are revealed and the ground turns golden with fallen leaves. Enjoy some clear sunny days and follow some of the myriad of footpaths over the hills. Or take a stroll from the door through the beechwoods to Great Hampden, past the cricket pitch and to the village pub to enjoy a pint.
If you fancy mushroom hunting, there’s plenty of scope and many fields and hillsides to search. The Bucks Fungus Society stages a recognition event at Aylesbury Museum in the Autumn. More news later
The Kop Hill Climb for classic cars celebrates its second revival year on 25th and 26th September promising to be bigger and better than before.
Take in a rugby game.
Who better to watch than London Wasps at home in High Wycombe, just 15 minutes away?
November and December
Come and stay in the cosy Barn and accomplish your Christmas Shopping at Wycombe’s new Eden Centre. Then find a magical Christmas event (or more shopping) at a local National Trust House such as Hughenden Manor or Waddesdon Manor or a Christmas street market (Old Amersham). And remember, Bicester Chic Outlet Shopping is not far away. Or you can even hop on a train to London! Round off your visit with a roast dinner or a pie and pint at a Chilterns or Thames-side traditional pub. More news of events will be added later in the year.
