Tour Highlights:
Discover the views from West Wycombe. Optional visit to Hellfire Caves. Visit 'Vicar of Dibley' village; Country drive through scenic countryside; visit river-side town of Marlow
Itinerary:
After welcoming you at Heathrow, we drive first of all to the National Trust-owned village of West Wycombe, and to the top of the hill for spectacular views of the Chilterns. On Sunday afternoons we can explore the amazing church situated there, and wonder at the mausoleum. If requested beforehand, there is time to visit the man-made Hellfire Caves, which are supposed to be haunted. From here we drive to the delightful village of Turville, which fans of The Vicar of Dibley may recognise. You have time to wander around and visit the church. On top of the hill is a windmill which featured in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Continuing along country roads, we next stop at another pretty village, Hambleden before heading to the sophisticated riverside town of Marlow where there will be time for some retail therapy, refreshments, or just watch the world go by on their boats on the Thames. Sadly reality needs to intrude, and it's time to get you back to the airport with happy memories of picturesque villages, and pretty countryside.
