The Great outdoors, An Adventure by Your Doorstep

What’s great about little adventures is that they can include everything just outside your doorstep! There’s more than enough wonder and activities to fill everyone’s sense of curiosity. Take a look at a few located in South Buckinghamshire, around the Chiltern Hills.

Unsheathe your inner historian

Start this summer by visiting the Chiltern Open Air Museum, an outdoor location that welcomes adventurers in all shapes and sizes. From Vikings to Roman Gladiators, these reenactments will be sure to spark an interest in history, or for the more subtle activities, there is candlemaking and also farm animals to roam the museum with.

A different point of view
