Cowleaze Wood

Set in the Chiltern Hills with amazing views over the surrounding countryside, a walk around this rich woodland reveals a great mix of habitats and plenty of paths to explore. There are grassy areas suitable for picnics and perfect for dogs to play. Bluebells which can be seen in May are like a blue carpet and well worth a visit.

Check out the monument in the wood to the crew of a Handley Page Halifax that crashed in the wood on 31 March 1944 returning from the Nuremberg raid. The memorial is a stone plinth from Lincoln Cathedral with the lost crew's names inscribed upon it.
